Is there a bar exam in other provinces and territories?

Let’s face it, studying for the Ontario bar exam isn’t much fun. So it’s unsurprising that many students’ minds begin to wander a bit after two or three weeks of reviewing their (seemingly never-ending!) pages of study materials. One question that tends to creep into their minds is: do all provincial law societies do it this way? Or have some abolished the bar exam? To save you some time, we’ve compiled a chart outlining the licensing requirements across the various provinces and territories.
