These are people who did everything we asked them to do. They studied hard for 3+ years, they gained practical experience in clinics and internships, and they treated their colleagues with respect. And what does the profession do in return? 1/2

Of licensed attorneys responding: 11% support in-person bar exams with safety precautions, 11% support proctored online bar exams, 45% support un-proctored online bar exams, 77% support diploma privileged licensure. #LawTwitter #BarExam
