For each question requiring a written response (ie all questions except for the multi-choice questions), a sample of actual answers given by candidates in the examination immediately follows the question.  \nFor multi-choice questions, the correct answers are highlighted.  \nAttention is drawn to the following important points concerning this document:  \nEach sample answer has been reproduced in type-written verbatim form, as it appeared in the candidate’s actual examination submission. Any errors and omissions contained in the candidate’s original answer are therefore included. No attempt has been made in this document to correct such errors and omissions. Accordingly, each sample answer is not to be regarded as perfect and necessarily exhaustive of all relevant issues disclosed by the particular question.  \nIn assessing each sample answer, an examiner has applied a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria and taken into account any errors and omissions in the answer. The candidate has been awarded either the maximum or near-maximum possible marks attainable for that question. For example, in the case of a question worth 2 marks the sample answer scored 2 marks, and in the case of a question worth 4 marks the sample answer may have scored 3½ or 4 marks.  \nIt is possible that other candidates’ answers (not included in this document) obtained a similarly high mark for the same question, but for different reasons. Accordingly, each sample answer represents only one way in which it was possible to score highly for a particular question.  \n\n| Exam Component | Total marks for each component |\n| --- | --- |\n| Legal Ethics | 20 |\n| Practice and Procedure (Civil) | 40 |\n| Practice and Procedure (Criminal) | 36 |\n| Evidence (Civil) | 40 |\n| Evidence (Criminal) | 40 |\n\n© 2025 Victorian Bar Inc.  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nINTRODUCTION ..............................................................................................................................................2  \nLEGAL ETHICS .............................................................................................................................................4  \nPRACTICE & PROCEDURE (CIVIL)..............................................................................................................19  \nPRACTICE & PROCEDURE (CRIMINAL) .....................................................................................................42  \nEVIDENCE (CIVIL) ......................................................................................................................................66  \nEVIDENCE (CRIMINAL)..............................................................................................................................90  \nLEGAL ETHICS  \nQuestion \\#: 1  \nAs an experienced barrister at the Bar, you decide to delegate a research task to a junior barrister who is struggling to find complex work. The junior barrister has great difficulty with the research task and uses various internet sites, both credible and unknown, in order to assist with the task.  \n(a) Identify two of the conditions a barrister must fulfil in order to delegate work according to the devilling rule, pursuant to the Legal Profession Uniform Conduct (Barristers) Rules 2015? [1 mark]  \nConsider the following additional information: You incorporate the research from the junior barrister into your submissions, which are filed with the court. You later realise that there is some content within your submissions that is not accurate and is likely to mislead the Court.  \n(b) What rules apply as to what a barrister should do here about the misleading content, pursuant to the Legal Profession Uniform Conduct (Barristers) Rule","cbCaigejCpwfZaPF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigejCpwfZaPF","pdf",2220016,114,"English","# Introduction\n# Legal Ethics\n# Practice & Procedure (Civil)\n# Practice & Procedure (Criminal)\n# Evidence (Civil)\n# Evidence (Criminal)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the annotated entrance exam document?\",\"answer\":\"It reproduces the Readers’ Course Entrance Exam with annotations as a feedback mechanism for candidates’ answers.
