A week after making a bombshell last-minute announcement that it was canceling the upcoming online barrister and solicitor exam after discovering potential leaks, the Law Society of Ontario has rescheduled the tests, which will now be administered in person in two sittings next month.

More than 1,100 candidates were originally set to take the online exam last week and during the final week of March but will now have to write them on paper and in person only in Toronto next month. The LSO pulled the plug on the online exams just days before the first one was to take place, saying it had information that exam questions had been leaked.
