iii. DISCIPLINARY WARNING

Before a law graduate is admitted as an advocate and solicitor, the Bar Council will request for a Confidential Report from the
university on whether there is any ground of objection against the admission as well as whether the graduate is of good
character.

The clarification from the Bar Council on what is not good character "includes, but is not limited to, any act of a criminal nature
which involves fraud or dishonesty. ... including cheating during an examination or being found to have committed an act
of plagiarism."

Kindly be warned that you do not attempt to cheat in the exam or in any assessment or be found to have committed any
disciplinary offence. The university has a legal obligation to convey this information to the Bar Council before the admission of
the candidate, and this may affect the candidate's admission as an advocate and solicitor.

Dean,
Faculty of Law

Warning: Please be reminded that cheating in the online or offline exam is a disciplinary offence. If there are
grounds to suspect that a student has cheated in the exam the student will be referred to the disciplinary
board for further investigation and if found guilty will be subject to disciplinary action by the university.
Please be reminded of the faculty’s disciplinary warning and Rule No: 04 of MMU’s General Discipline of
Students Rules.
