As of Dec. 3, the five jurisdictions with emergency diploma privilege precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic had announced plans for a remote bar exam in February 2021.
Louisiana scheduled a remote open-book bar in February, according to a Nov. 25 state supreme court order. The other four jurisdictions Washington, D.C.; Utah; Oregon; and Washington have announced remote Uniform Bar Exams, which are offered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
None of the jurisdictions has yet released plans for July 2021 admissions, but law school deans in those regions are telling third-year students to plan for a bar exam, which could be in-person or online. Also, state supreme courts in some jurisdictions have appointed task forces to study the issue.
