The Legal Profession Act states that a bar examination is required to obtain a lawyer's license. The Bar Council had also reduced the fees of the examination after many complaints were filed at the institute.
The Bar Exam 2022 was the first Bar licensing exam to be administered in the history of the Maldivian legal profession. It was held in partnerships with USAID, American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABAROLI), National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) and Kaplan. The Bar Council of Maldives stated that these institutes were "integral to ensuring that the Exam met international testing and quality standards."
