Nebraska Supreme Court rejects request to let grads practice law without taking bar exam (Omaha World-Herald)

The argument before the state Supreme Court was whether graduates of law school here should be required to sit the bar exam as a group due to the epidemic. That is required by state law. The examination lasts two days.

The Supreme Court here is meeting by Internet service rather than in-person. They know the issue is deadly. One question posed to the court by the plaintiffs was if the justices would be willing to sit in a room and proctor the two-day exam. That of course is not the point for a conservative.

The exam will require testing in advance for Covid-19. Anyone who tests positive will be deferred to a third exam later in the year set up for people who test positive.

It’s two weeks and two days to the Multistate Bar Exam, a 200 question multiple choice exam which, when I took it back in the day, consisted of mostly “what is the most WRONG answer” questions. (I wish I was lying, I’m not.) In Texas, it would have been the first day of a 2.5 day slog. (I believe this has since changed.) And if I was at this point in my studies and I didn’t know the circumstances of whether or not I was going to take the bar at the end of the month, I think I would be completely losing my shit right about now.

ETA: given how long it’s taking to get results back from labs, if you went and got tested now, yeah, you might have a result back by the bar exam, but who’s to say you don’t pick it up between now and the bar exam???
