Lawyer struck off for not disclosing plagiarism; fellow NUS grad who came clean called to the Bar

One law graduate's decision to come clean caused her admission to be deferred for five months, but she was eventually called to the Bar in February.

On the other hand, Ms Shahira Banu Khaja Moinudeen did not declare the plagiarism incident and was called to the Bar on Aug 22, 2023. The Chief Justice said she made the original mistake worse, first by not disclosing this fact in her affidavit in support of her application for admission. He said Ms Shahira lacked insight into her ethical duties as a lawyer, and in particular of the duty of candour to the court and to the stakeholders.

She said that she had been working on two versions of the essay on her computer – one had slight amendments, while the other was one she was “working to amend afresh”.
