In
re Application of Parker, Slip Op. No. 2013-Ohio-190:

Jasmine Shawn Parker of Covington, Kentucky, is a 2011 graduate
of the Chase College of Law and has applied as a candidate for admission to the
Ohio bar. … At the conclusion of the July 2011 bar exam, one of the applicants
approached Lee Ann Ward, director of bar admissions, to report that on several
occasions he had observed another applicant, later identified as Parker, continue
to write after the instruction to stop writing had been given. The reporting
applicant stated that he had observed this behavior on the first day of the exam
when time was called for essay Question Nos. 1 and No. 2, and on the final day of
the exam for Question Nos. 7 and 8, as well as Question Nos. 11 and 12. He
estimated that on the first set of exam questions Parker continued to write for less
than 30 seconds, but that on the final day of the exam, she “wrote for enough time
to write complete full sentences on both occasions. I would say close to 45–60
secs each time.” …

The Board of Commissioners on Character and Fitness agreed with
the Board of Bar Examiners that Parker had violated bar-exam rules by continuing
to write after time was called on three sets of questions, on two separate days. … [W]e adopt the board’s finding that Parker has failed to
prove that she currently possesses the requisite character, fitness, and moral
qualifications for admission to the practice of law in Ohio in both her conduct
during the bar exam and in her response to the ensuing investigation.
Consequently, we disapprove Parker’s pending application. In light of Parker’s
sincere remorse and her maturation as a result of this experience, we permit
Parker to reapply for admission to the bar on or after February 1, 2013.
