No Room At the Bar Exam Sites: Repeat Bar Exam Takers Cannot Take the Bar Exam in Some Jurisdictions
Bar Professors Provides Private/Online Tutoring for Repeat Takers for the UBE, North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, New York and California.
In light of the current Covid crisis, several jurisdictions are giving priority to only first time bar exam takers and not allowing repeat takers or foreign educated to sit for the bar exam.
New York is one of these jurisdictions, allowing first time takers from New York law schools priority. Washington, DC has announced yesterday it was giving priority to first time takers. Maine has already announced that it has reached capacity and will not accept any more applications. Massachusetts is making plans for limited seating capacity.
It’s astonishing to realize that over 60% of the bar exam takers are repeat takers in almost every state. In Massachusetts, the repeat takers made up 70% of the applicants. In New York it’s close to 64%. In New York, the foreign educated applicants make up 44%, most of them repeat takers.
This translates to thousands of repeat takers not able to take the bar exam this bar cycle. Repeat takes and foreign educated applicants will be forced to wait until February to take the bar exam, but only if nothing else changes and, in these unpredictable times, February may also have seat limitations. Clearly, repeat takers are treated differently and we cannot predict other decisions that may affect them.
While repeat takers are adversely affected by this decision, this should be a motivating factor for starting bar preparation earlier, rather than later. Be ready to pass your bar exam, no matter when you take it.
