Paralegal Criminal and Quasi-Criminal Law Practice Quiz Pack

Criminal and Quasi-Criminal Law is the paralegal paper’s other procedural subject. It covers the summary conviction matters a paralegal may defend, the provincial offences that make up much of the work, and the process around both: how a charge starts, disclosure, the first appearance and what follows, the trial, sentencing and appeals, with the Charter running underneath every stage. Most of what is asked turns on which stage you are at and what the defendant, the prosecutor and the court may do there.

The quizzes here sit you inside those stages. A question sets the facts at one point in a prosecution and asks what happens next, or what the paralegal representing the defendant should do. Wrong answers come with explanations that name the governing provision and say why the alternatives fail, so you build a map of the process rather than a list of disconnected rules.

What’s included

• Three quizzes of 25 questions, 75 in all, none repeated between them
• No timer. These are for learning a subject, not for rehearsing the day
• Two attempts at every quiz, reshuffled each time
• No question shared with our mock exams or with any other pack
• Written to entry-level competency standards
• A competency report after each quiz. Both attempts are at the same quiz, so a change between them is a change in you and not in the paper.
• A ranked study list, ordered by the marks at stake and not simply by your lowest percentage
• Categories too small to read are named as such, with no figure printed for you to act on

Ideal for candidates whose program or work experience was on the civil side, and for anyone whose mock exam report flagged this subject. Pair it with the Civil Litigation pack and you have covered both procedural regimes the paralegal paper examines.

When explanations open: at 55%. That figure is ours. It is not a passing standard, and the Law Society does not publish one. It is there so nobody can collect an answer key for the quizzes by submitting an empty attempt. Under 55% you still see every question you missed, with the area of law and the competency it tested. Study, sit it again, and the explanations open.
