in the 2020 Bar exams, the Singapore Institute of Legal Education has not found other cases of cheating, including in subsequent rounds of exams, said Law Minister K Shanmugam on Monday .
He noted that SILE said it has put in place additional safeguards to prevent cheating, and introducedAs for the trainees who were found to have cheated, they are required to repeat their preparatory course and/or the Bar exams in the next year, and the court has adjourned their hearings for admission.“To get admitted, they will need to convince all stakeholders involved that they are fit and proper to practise law before they are allowed to do so,” said Mr Shanmugam.
“They have to act with the highest standards of probity, to ensure that they can be relied upon with utmost confidence," he said.
