ABA Journal, LA Wildfires Will Not Stop California’s Plans to Offer New Bar Exam Next Month:
While plans to launch a new Kaplan-developed bar exam Feb. 25 and 26 move forward, the State Bar of California’s Committee of Bar Examiners will consider offering a refund to February examinees impacted by the wildfires that have plagued the Los Angeles area.
“The state bar recognizes that the Southern California wildfires’ destruction and impact is far-reaching,” Bridget Gramme, special counsel in the division of consumer protection, admissions, and access and inclusion at the State Bar of California, wrote to the ABA Journal. …
In addition, the state bar has contacted law school deans and administrators reminding them to share its Lawyer Assistance Program with impacted students and community. The resource offers free, confidential support to attorneys, bar applicants and law students, including two sessions with a licensed therapist.
