Court grants parts of two State Bar proposals to extend eligibility for Provisional License Program and to impute scores from February Bar exam

The California Supreme Court has issued a statement on the "troubling reports of technical failures, delays, and other irregularities" in last week's administration of the California Bar Examination.

Court extends program through December 31, 2022 for both participant cohorts: 2020 law school graduates and those with qualifying prior Bar Exam scores.

Thousands more law school graduates with qualifying prior bar exam scores will be able to work as fully licensed attorneys after completing supervised practice hours.

The program will continue until June 1, 2022 unless extended by the court.

The California Supreme Court ordered the July California Bar Exam be postponed to Sept. 9-10, and directed the State Bar to make every effort to administer the test online with remote or electronic proctoring.
