Cheating on the Bar Exam: Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!
Welcome to “Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!”
In this episode, Kyla Lee from Acumen Law Corporation explores a high-profile case involving alleged cheating on the Ontario bar exam. After irregular answer patterns were flagged, an investigation revealed that a leaked answer key had circulated. The Law Society voided results for everyone who appeared to have used it—without individual hearings. Some candidates challenged this as a breach of procedural fairness. Although initially successful, the Ontario Court of Appeal reversed that decision. The Supreme Court of Canada denied leave to appeal.
