Georgia Cancels September Exam, Moves Online

While many law students around the country are still staring down a bar exam next week because Mola Ram demands his ritualistic sacrifice, some states had already pushed the bar exam to September.

Alas, a date that was once seen as an abundance of caution is now looking as dangerously optimistic and the bar examiners in Georgia have seen enough to know to call it.

The new plan is for an October online exam as many jurisdictions are adopting. Online exams aren’t a panacea and kick up concerns over technology infrastructure, examinee privacy, and proctoring procedures. But it does come with the perk of not exposing examinees to a deadly virus so that’s fair enough comparative advantage at this point.
