From Merrill Balassone’s news release for California Courts (“California Supreme Court Approves Incentives to Test Drive New Bar Exam Questions”): “The California Supreme Court on Tuesday approved a State Bar of California proposal to provide bar applicants an incentive for a study being held on Nov. 8 and Nov. 9 that will pretest experimental multiple-choice exam questions developed by Kaplan, Inc. Participants in those studies may increase their chances of passing a future bar exam under certain conditions.”
From Cheryl Miller’s report in The Recorder (“California Supreme Court Authorizes Move to Remote Bar Exam”): “California’s Supreme Court on Tuesday approved changes to the state’s bar exam that will allow the . . . test to be administered in homes and smaller vendor-operated sites instead of the traditional convention centers and hotel ballrooms.”
Today’s two court orders are here and here.
This bar stuff is just one of the court’s many non-case-related responsibilities. (See: The multi-tasking Supreme Court.)
