Gregory and Laurel,<br>

Although I really like to keep an open mind about testing, and although I wasn't aware that some states had wiped out this requirement so hadn't given it much thought, this seems a little sweeping to me, too.<br>
<br>
If there is a letter being circulated that we can sign, please send it to me as I would like to either sign off or write my own.<br>
<br>
Maybe I would write my own but attach yours and reference it. I assume many letters have more impact than one signed by a bunch of people.<br>

all applicants for the summer 2020 bar exams to never have to take the bar in Washington is too broad. First, bar applicants who previously failed the Washington bar, no matter how many times, are now automatically admitted if signed up for the Summer 2020
exams (July and September). Second, the last bar exam pass rate was only 49%. When I took the bar in 1989, the pass rate was only 62%. I certainly have not followed bar passage rates in Washington, but I think they have varied between about 45% to 75% over
the last 30 years. The exam is a competency measure to protect the public and to ensure a certain level of competency to practice law in Washington. We are a profession with many technical rules and requirements and the public deserves the protection the
bar exam provides.</span></u><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></u><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">A more balanced approach could be that the 2020 summer exam applicants are admitted on a provisional
basis and can practice law so long as they sit for the bar exam by the summer of 2021. Their admission to the bar would remain valid until the results are announced for the summer 2021 exam in the fall of 2021. If they pass that exam their admission continues.
If they fail the bar exam in either the winter of 2021 or summer 2021, then their provisional admission ends until they take the exam again and pass. This approach balances the effect of the Corona Crisis on studying for and passing the bar exam during the
crisis and allows for gainful employment in the interim. This approach would also protect the public because those who ultimately have a problem passing the exam will not be admitted on a long term basis until they can show their basic competency to practice
law.</span></u><u></u><u></u></p>

<u><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)">As you may recall, I am on the Board of Governors. I am writing with regard to the Court’s recent decision to allow law school graduates to skip the bar exam this year. Here
is some background. The Board of Governors was approached at our April meeting by law students asking that graduates be allowed to practice without taking the bar exam due to the COVID-19 situation. The Board voted 12 to 1 not to do so and urged the Court
to require that the exam be held. The exam was scheduled to be held in several locations rather than one, and in both July and September, to minimize travel and associated virus risks by insuring that there was plenty of room in the exam rooms to follow social
distancing requirements. The Board felt that requiring applicants to take and pass the bar exam was important to protect the public and ensure qualified and competent attorneys. The Court initially accepted this recommendation, but has now reversed itself,
apparently in response to a letter from the Seattle University law school dean asking that their graduates be allowed to practice law without taking the bar exam this year. This letter (copy attached) was sent directly to the Court and I did not know the
request had been made until after the Court issued its decision (copy attached), so there was no opportunity to alert members to the request or obtain member comment. </span></u><u></u><u></u></p>
