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& #39;s business as usual except w/ masks and more spacing. https://twitter.com/JoanHowarth1/status/1276675934251134976">https://twitter.com/JoanHowar...

I& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;ll be around after the exam) at the top of the list of priorities.

Ok. Jumping down from my soapbox now.
