Was the country's last major Evangelical higher education institution, according to Albert Mohler in an interview last year:

Trinity Western University’s community covenant is no longer mandatory for prospective students. The Langley-based university has decided to change its requirements surrounding a controversial covenant that forbids sexual intimacy outside of marriage

In June, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the right of two Canadian Law Societies to refuse accreditation for a proposed law school at Trinity Western University.

the Board of Governors has passed the following motion: ‘In furtherance of our desire to maintain TWU as a thriving community of Christian believers that is inclusive of all students wishing to learn from a Christian viewpoint and underlying philosophy, the Community Covenant will no longer be mandatory as of the 2018-19 Academic year with respect to admission of students to, or continuation of students at, the University.’

This is an outrage and goes against the Canadian "Charter of Rights" which at it's core is supposed to protect the people's religious liberty.

Is it not like the states in which there is a separate bar exam one can take to be licensed?

There are lawyers who never went to law school, but passed the bar exam(s).

As I read the article, it isn't. And "reading for the bar" is only applicable in a couple of states.
