.@illinoiscourts has decided that the Feb. 2021 Bar Exam will be held remotely.

@il_bar has made no effort to survey Oct. 2020 examinees about their experience, nor have they released any information about how they fared with the new remote format.

New for @CDLB: Glitches with exam software proved troubling for the Illinois Remote Bar Exam, with some test-takers saying their computers disconnected while testing.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT 🧵In light of the technical issues with the use of @ExamSoft in the administration of online and in-person bar exams this week, we ask Supreme Courts nationwide to issue an announcement to July 2021 bar takers acknowledging the unacceptable problems and ...

.@ExamSoft had plenty of time to resolve the tech issues that defined the 2020 October bar exam. Instead, it seems like this year has been worse. We’re putting together a follow-up survey for 2021 takers. Stay tuned!!

👇👇👇 This part right here. @ExamSoft has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted to operate in good faith and address reasonable concerns our advocates have brought to bar exam authorities in the past year.

[National Assn. for Equity in the Legal Profession @NA4ELP]

Imagine having had nearly a year to address tech concerns that were raised during past bar administrations and willfully choosing against actually doing so. That’s corporate ethics for you, amirite @ExamSoft?

Reminder that the head of @NCBEX never sat for a #BarExam because she was admitted to practice through Diploma Privilege. Something she actively tries to deny other future lawyers. Our profession can be hypocritical and downright shameful at times. #AbolishTheBar 📚 ⚖️

If you faced issues with the online bar exam, please DM us. This is unacceptable @ExamSoft. You had an entire year to get the logistics in order.

It’s remarkable how many new lawyers’ response to passing the bar exam is to advocate for abolishing the bar exam.

This generation is going to transform the profession for the better
