FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement of the Association of Academic Support Educators
In light of the technical issues with the use of ExamSoft in the administration of online and in-person bar exams this week, we ask Supreme Courts nationwide to issue an announcement to July 2021 bar takers acknowledging the unacceptable problems and offering assurances that software problems will not result in invalidation of their exam attempts or scores, and that accommodations will be made for examinees who were not afforded the full scheduled amount of testing time. Such an act is in keeping with the high standards of the legal profession and in the best interests of those seeking entry, who by no fault of their own encountered difficulties completing or submitting their exam.
