Law Society of Ontario cancels upcoming bar exams after content allegedly leaked to some candidates; Toronto Star, March 5, 2022

, Toronto Star; Law Society of Ontario cancels upcoming bar exams after content allegedly leaked to some candidates

"The Law Society of Ontario (LSO) has cancelled upcoming bar exams slated to begin Tuesday after examination content was allegedly “improperly accessed” by some candidates.

More than 1,000 candidates were set to write the online examinations, which were scheduled from March 8 to 11 and March 22 to 25, the LSO said in a statement issued Saturday. 

“This decision has been made as a result of information the Law Society has received which strongly indicates that examination content has been improperly accessed by some candidates, compromising the integrity of the upcoming examination period,” the LSO said.

The breach also affects candidates who had already written the exam."
