Update re: bar exam and LA wildfires
Hello everyone,
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and I still have relatives who live there. The images of the LA wildfires are horrifying. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the region. For Cal Bar applicants, this is a very challenging time as we reach the 45-day mark before the exam.
In its latest FAQ (dated 1/9), the Cal Bar indicated the following:
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES
Any February bar exam takers who have been displaced or personally affected by the wildfires around
Los Angeles County and want to discuss any changes in their circumstances regarding the upcoming
exam administration can email Wildfire.Emergencies@calbar.ca.gov.
If you’re able to read this and you’ve been affected by the wildfires, please email the Cal Bar at the email address above. Tell them about how you were affected, but make sure to tell them that the new dates for the mock exam might be hard to deal with right now. I hope they are humane enough to provide extensions to register for and take the mock exam to those affected. That said, I believe you need a compatible laptop to do the mock exam. Note that for the in-person modality, the Meazure Learning site provides computers and a place to take the exam. That may be a factor for some who are displaced by the fires.
Best of luck to everyone out there, but especially to those who have been displaced by the fires.
