I am increasingly pained by the decisions made about the bar exam. Bar examiners are smart enough to think creatively about licensing new lawyers during a public health calamity of epic proportions without acting like it's business as usual except w/ masks and more spacing. https://twitter.com/JoanHowarth1/status/1276675934251134976
I've been in the law school world long enough to know that our profession is slow to change and that when change happens it is most often incremental.
But when I think about what law schools achieved in March when so many of us changed from in-person to online at the drop of a dime.
Or when @LSAC_Official created the LSAT Flex after canceling the March and April in-person LSAT exams.
Or when states like New Jersey (yes, I'm biased), extended its existing practice order so that 2020 grads can practice law while waiting to take a delayed bar exam.
There are short term solutions that don't require wholesale and permanent change (which I know is scary), but that put the health of those taking and proctoring the bar exam (and those they'll be around after the exam) at the top of the list of priorities.
Ok. Jumping down from my soapbox now.
