	AM No. MTJ-08-1706 2009-04-16	MUTYA B. VICTORIO v. JUDGE MAXWELL S. ROSETE CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Competence is a mark of a good judge. When a judge displays an utter lack of familiarity with the rules, he erodes the public's confidence in the competence of our courts.[34] It is highly imperative that judges be conversant with the law and basic legal principles.[35] Basic legal procedures must be at the palm of a judge's hands.[36]

	AM No. MTJ-02-1438 2004-01-22	EXECUTIVE JUDGE HENRY B. BASILIA v. JUDGE AMADO L. BECAMON QUISUMBING, J.
The respondent judge is reminded that a pending hearing on a motion for execution and the opposition thereto is not a ground for refusing to accept the appellate docket and lawful fees or disapproving an appeal for that matter where an appropriate notice of appeal is filed within the reglementary period. That he ordered the respondent Clerk of Court Lolita Delos Reyes not to accept the appeal fee because of the pending motion for execution likewise betrays his failure to know the law. Where the law or rule of procedure on the matter is simple and elementary, the failure to apply the same constitutes gross ignorance of the law and procedure.[26]
