The OAB 40 exam is a rigorous test that assesses the knowledge and skills of aspiring lawyers in Brazil. Among the various challenges encountered by candidates are questions that are susceptible to annulment. These questions, if successfully challenged, can lead to the nullification of the entire exam or portions thereof. Understanding the grounds for annulment and the process for contesting these questions is crucial for maximizing one's chances of success.
According to Article 9 of Resolution No. 16/2005 of the National Council of Justice (CNJ), questions in the OAB 40 exam may be annulled due to the following reasons:
Candidates who believe that a question in the OAB 40 exam should be annulled must file a request for annulment within 15 days of the release of the official exam results. The request must be submitted to the National Federation of Lawyers of Brazil (OAB) and must include the following information:
If a question is annulled, the following consequences may occur:
Case 1: In the 2019 OAB 40 exam, a question on constitutional law was annulled because it contained an outdated provision that had been superseded by a subsequent amendment to the Brazilian Constitution. As a result, all candidates who answered the question correctly were awarded points.
Case 2: In the 2021 OAB 40 exam, a question on civil procedure was annulled due to an error in the formulation. The question was worded in a way that made it unclear what the correct answer was. All candidates who answered the question were awarded points, regardless of their choice.
Case 3: In the 2023 OAB 40 exam, a question on administrative law was annulled because it was deemed to be discriminatory against candidates with disabilities. The question required candidates to perform a specific task that was not accessible to individuals with certain disabilities. All candidates were awarded points for the question.
These case studies highlight the importance of paying attention to the wording of questions and understanding the legal framework that governs the OAB 40 exam. Candidates should also be aware of the procedures for contesting annullable questions and should not hesitate to exercise their right to do so.
