The California bar exam’s debut test this week has been plagued by widespread problems, prompting calls for court intervention from law school deans. Issues included inability to log in, non-working functionality, and complications with proctors’ oversight. The State Bar of California has offered refunds and provided an option for examinees to retake the test, but the extent of damage is still unclear. Law school deans are urging the Supreme Court to provide an “equitable solution” for affected students, who may face a potential legislative inquiry into the state bar’s handling of the attorney licensing process.
