California’s first try at a remote bar exam was such a disaster that it might go back to in-person testing.

Test administrator ProctorU / Meazure is already facing a lawsuit after California’s February 2025 Bar Exam “was an unmitigated disaster,” full of crashes, bugs, and delays. It was the state’s first try at a “hybrid, two-day remote and in-person exam without any components of the national bar exam,” according to Reuters.

Now the State Bar staff and the deans of 17 state law schools are recommending returning to an in-person test. Meanwhile, a retake opportunity has already been delayed until March 18th.
