Before a law graduate is admitted as an advocate and solicitor, the Bar Council

ground of objection against the admission as well as whether the graduate is of
good character.

The clarification from the Bar Council on what is not good character "includes,
but is not limited to, any act of a criminal nature which involves fraud or
dishonesty. ... including cheating during an examination or being found to have
committed an act of plagiarism."

Kindly be warned that you do not attempt to cheat in the exam or in any
assessment or be found to have committed any disciplinary offence. The
university has a legal obligation to convey this information to the Bar Council
before the admission of the candidate, and this may affect the candidate's
