Proud to get the #COVID vaccine tonight. The father of our neighbor and friend died of COVID in the ICU tonight - I dedicate this to his memory. If me getting the shot could help save one life, it would be enough. #vaccinated #WearAMask

The Feb 2020 bar exam was plagued with problems that the @StateBarCA brushed under the rug.

Just a reminder...

[CalBar Applicant 2020 @2020Calbar]

They won't do it. They are just eager & counting that very few applicants will pass the #BarExam, so those who won't will apply again no matter how much time they'll have. @StateBarCA & @CaSupremeCourt don't care about the profession or the #public. They are just in for the $$$.

[Diploma Privilege for California @dp4ca]

Wishing that both the @StateBarCA and @CaSupremeCourt provided updates like this and expedited grading for CBX applicants. Yet folks who took the exam two weeks ago have to wait until late January— literally a few weeks before the February bar exam.

In Wisconsin if you attend UW or Marquette Law school, you are admitted upon graduation to the Wi Bar without taking the exam; note just because professions require these exams doesn’t necessarily mean they measure competence in a field;the bar exam is unrelated to practicing law

The three lawyers who resolved India’s largest bankruptcy case last year are using their elevated professional standing to address a different problem: not enough women in the bar. https://t.co/pl4uWCyoQJ

One year ago, if asked, I would've said that an open book bar exam was unreasonable. Today, I see things differently.

[Concerned Bar Taker @BarConcerned]

The Bar Exam was not a success. @StateBarCA @CaSupremeCourt @NCBEX we will not let you change the narrative and try to escape this. This was a disgrace that we even had to go through this the way we did. Abolish the Bar Exam. Abolish the NCBE

[Sean Silverman: Silverman Bar Exam & LSAT Tutoring @BarExamTutor]

As I read more about the Oct. issues, it reinforces a belief I’ve held: the bar exam should be open book.

An open book test can be a challenging test of problem solving ability, one that tests the ability to reason logically. That matters more than a talent for memorizing.

[diploma privilege @diplomaprivileg]

Abolish the @NCBEX.
