Bar Exam Subject Leak to be Probed in California
Bloomberg Law reports the California Supreme Court opened an investigation into how law school deans were tipped to subject areas in this week’s bar exam.
“Topics were released in an email last week to deans of 16 law schools invited to observe the California Bar Examination grading process. The bar said it ‘had no evidence’ that leaked information had been shared with students,” explains Bloomberg’s Joyce E. Cutler.
The email listed subject areas of civil procedure, remedies/constitutional law, criminal law and procedure, professional responsibility, and contracts.
The California Bar decided to release the list instead of canceling the exam or changing the topics for the two-day test starting July 30.
