The Law Society of South Africa (LSSA) and the examination committee has decided that based on the leaks of the attorneys admission examinations, all four papers should be rewritten in October 2018, with the exact dates to rewrite the examinations to be confirmed.

While the society acknowledges that many candidate attorneys did not participate in this unethical and unprofessional conduct, the rewrite is necessary to protect the integrity of the profession.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the source of the leaks and those persons involved. The LSSA will ensure that appropriate action will be taken against any candidate who was complicit in the leak.
A national hotline will be established for individuals to act ethically and do what is right by making anonymous disclosure of any examination leaks or information as to the circumstances which led to it.
