Henrik Nilsson reports in the Daily Journal that deans from four UC law schools are meeting today with representatives of the Supreme Court, the Committee of Bar Examiners, and the State Bar Trustees about the next bar exam. In April, the court postponed the July exam until September and last month suggested an additional one-month delay is possible. At least one dean will argue that this year’s law school graduates should be licensed without an exam, but with supervision and additional MCLE requirements.
Cheryl Miller reports in The Recorder that the court and the State Bar “will host an online meeting July 7 to hear from law school graduates registered to take the test.”
[July 6 update: Cheryl Miller reports in The Recorder that the deans “pleaded with state Supreme Court justices and state bar leaders to skip the fall bar exam and grant diploma privilege to candidates for the 2020 test.” The justices attending the remote meeting were Goodwin Liu, Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, and Joshua Groban.]
