Cheryl Miller reports for The Recorder that the Supreme Court today “temporarily blocked the state bar from rolling out a new bar exam written by Kaplan Exam Services, raising questions about the February 2025 sitting of the lawyer-licensing test just weeks before the registration period opens.”
[September 19 update: The State Bar yesterday posted a statement about the court’s order and also giving background information about the proposed new exam. The Bar said, “As we read today’s order, before the State Bar brings the proposed modifications back to the Supreme Court, it must first seek the formal approval of the Committee of Bar Examiners on the proposed modifications to the California Bar Exam.
