Editorial standards

How we get the facts right.

Reviewees make real decisions from what they read about the Bar. These are the rules we follow for every guide, figure and date on this site.

Where the facts come from

Exam dates, subjects, weights, coverage and rules come from the Supreme Court's own Bar Bulletins and announcements. When a figure is only available through news reports of the Court's announcements, such as turnout or a passing rate, we use reputable outlets and say so on the page.

How we check them

  • Every guide ends with a note on where its facts come from.
  • Figures are compared across sources. When outlets disagree, we use the number the Supreme Court announced, and we leave a number out rather than guess.
  • We do not state a date the Court has not announced. When a date is only expected, we say so in those words.

Dates and updates

Each guide shows when it was published and when it was last updated. When the Court issues a new bulletin or announcement that changes a guide, we update the guide and its date.

What we do not do

  • We do not give legal advice. The guides explain the exam and how to prepare for it.
  • We do not accept payment to mention or rank a review centre, school or product.
  • We do not invent quotes, reviews or testimonials.
  • We do not speak for the Supreme Court. Lagda is an independent study aid and is not affiliated with the Court; its bulletins and announcements always control.
