Proud to get the #COVID vaccine tonight. The father of our neighbor and friend died of COVID in the ICU tonight - I dedicate this to his memory. If me getting the shot could help save one life, it would be enough. #vaccinated #WearAMask

The Feb 2020 bar exam was plagued with problems that the @StateBarCA brushed under the rug. Just a reminder...

Replying to @OctaviaViento
When @StateBarCA saw that only ONE black person from an ABA accredited school passed the Feb2020 bar exam everyone should’ve yelled, “FULL STOP! WTH are we doing here?” They should’ve deduced that there was a problem with the exam & not the 19 other Black ppl who failed to pass.

In Wisconsin if you attend UW or Marquette Law school, you are admitted upon graduation to the Wi Bar without taking the exam; note just because professions require these exams doesn’t necessarily mean they measure competence in a field;the bar exam is unrelated to practicing law

Lol. Name 1 profession that allows graduates to practice without passing a licensing exam? 🙄

One year ago, if asked, I would've said that an open book bar exam was unreasonable. Today, I see things differently.

As I read more about the Oct. issues, it reinforces a belief I’ve held: the bar exam should be open book. An open book test can be a challenging test of problem solving ability, one that tests the ability to reason logically. That matters more than a talent for memorizing.

The Bar Exam was not a success. @StateBarCA @CaSupremeCourt @NCBEX we will not let you change the narrative and try to escape this. This was a disgrace that we even had to go through this the way we did. Abolish the Bar Exam. Abolish the NCBE

This is true. No Bar examinees have had the challenges before. As a member of the CA State Bar, I apologize. Hard working law school graduates deserve better.

It's important for people in positions of power to at least acknowledge the difficulties others are facing. To the law school graduates who took the bar exam, who delayed to 2021, or who are reconsidering the profession altogether: I'm sorry that you had to go through this.

It is genuinely heartwarming to see so many examinees coming out of this still resolved to fight for #DiplomaPrivilegeNow. You all are the heart of this movement and together we can totally reform the legal profession. We're right here with you ready to keep advocating for change
