Canadian Provinces Replacing the Bar Exam

On a new episode of the “Verdicts and Voices” podcast, from the Canadian Bar Association, the participants discuss the Practice Readiness Education Program (PREP), “the official Bar admission program for the law societies of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and [as of September 2026] British Columbia.” That quotation is copied from the PREP website. The podcast description explains:

The Practice Readiness Education Program (PREP) has already replaced bar exams in PEI, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Nunavut. British Columbia is set to make the switch soon, and the Law Society of Ontario is considering doing the same. What’s driving this transformation, and what does it mean for lawyers, aspiring lawyers, and their clients?
