Changes to the rules of the Bar Council have resulted in the suspension of online professional examinations for lawyers.
The matter was raised in the People’s Majlis after the regulatory amendments took effect. Details of the exact changes and the reasons for ending the online format have not been fully set out in public statements.
The suspension affects candidates who had been preparing to sit examinations remotely. The Bar Council has not yet announced an alternative schedule or format for the assessments.
The issue has drawn attention because access to professional qualifications is considered important for the legal community.
