LSK CEO Mercy Wambua said the committee will establish reasons that have seen more than half of candidates fail in the examinations.
An ad hoc committee comprising of various stakeholders involved in the ATP has been established to probe the failures.
A report released in January laid bare the massive failure of law students seeking to be admitted as advocates of the High Court.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has started investigations into mass failure by students sitting bar examinations at the Kenya School of Law (KSL) over the past several years.
LSK Chief Executive Officer Mercy Wambua on Sunday revealed that LSK has already constituted a committee to establish the reasons that have seen more than half of candidates fail in the examinations.
