Interesting development for #lawyers everywhere. The National Conference of Bar Examiners is giving states the option to offer a #FallBarExam in lieu of the regular July Bar Exam. NCBE says they will make the decision on whether to cancel the July Bar Exam no later than 5/52020.
Potential effects of postponing the exam: (1) fewer newly-registered attorneys this Fall; (2) law firms employing recent grads as law clerks, paralegals, etc. for longer periods; and (3) more recent graduates opting for legal careers not requiring bar admission (e.g., policy).
We might even see a spike in #LegalTech startups as #techy recent grads from law schools looking for jobs not requiring the bar exam during this period.
