The Law Society of Ontario says bar exams that were cancelled this month have been rescheduled for April. And now instead of writing them online, young would-be lawyers will have to sit in a class with an invigilator watching them. Barrister and solicitor exams were cancelled on March 5 immediately before they were set to begin because it was suspected that some candidates had peeked at test answers ahead of time. Law society CEO Diana Miles says holding tests in person is the most effective solution to ensure confidence in the exam process and meet the needs of candidates. An external investigation into the exam situation is ongoing.
