Sample question
Sample question · Professional Responsibility
Ravi Doshi is charged with theft under $5,000 from a hardware store. In a private meeting, he tells his lawyer, Celeste Marchand, that he did take the items, but he wants to plead not guilty and go to trial. The store's video footage is grainy, and the only eyewitness is a part-time clerk who saw the incident from across the store.
Which course of action is consistent with Celeste's professional obligations?
- A Withdraw at once, since a lawyer may not run a trial for a client who has privately admitted guilt.
- B Test the Crown's evidence at trial, but not suggest facts or call evidence she knows to be false.
- C Run whatever defence Ravi chooses, including calling him to say he was elsewhere that day.
- D Disclose the admission to the Crown so that an early and lenient plea deal can be negotiated.
Show the answer
B is correct. Under the commentary to rule 5.1-1 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, an admission by the accused to defence counsel limits how the defence may be conducted, but counsel may still hold the Crown to proof. Counsel may challenge the admissibility and sufficiency of the evidence, but may not suggest that someone else committed the offence, call evidence counsel believes to be false, or put forward an affirmative case inconsistent with the admission.
A: An admission of guilt does not oblige counsel to withdraw; the accused is still entitled to require the Crown to prove its case.
C: Calling Ravi to give alibi evidence that Celeste knows is false would mislead the court, contrary to rule 5.1-2.
D: The admission is confidential and privileged (rule 3.3-1), and Celeste cannot disclose it without Ravi's authority.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Ontario Barrister and Solicitor exams?
Each exam has 160 multiple-choice questions to answer in 4 hours 30 minutes. Some questions stand alone and some share a case scenario.
Are the Ontario licensing exams open book?
Yes. You may bring printed study materials and notes. Our mocks are written for open-book conditions, so they test applying the rules rather than recall alone.
Why are your mocks 80 questions?
Each mock is half the length of the real exam and timed at the real pace, 2 hours 15 minutes for 80 questions. That makes it easy to fit in a full timed sitting while you study.
Do you explain the answers?
Yes. Every question explains why the best answer is right and why each other option is wrong, and your score is broken down by area of law.
