<div dir="ltr">The letter doesn't really (in my opinion) point to
"taking" the exam as the issue - it appears to focus on the fact
that students had problems <i>studying for the exam. </i>Personally,
I think this makes the risk of malpractice even higher for these
practitioners because not only have they not passed the exam -
but they haven't properly studied all the topics which the WSBA
and UBE have deemed to be critical for competent practice. When
I was studying for the exam I virtually never needed to be
around other people because it was all online. However, there
were secure places you were welcome to go to study if your home
life was a little too distracting.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sure many of these new attorneys will be great
attorneys. However, I think this was poorly decided and could
have been more narrowly-tailored (remember that term, anyone?)
to protect the interests of the community and allow some
leniency for new lawyers under the unique circumstances
presented to these students. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Plus, if I were a client, I'm not sure I would feel
comfortable hiring an attorney who didn't take the bar exam. I
would maybe even feel more harmed if I didn't feel they did a
good job, or worse, they committed malpractice and the mistake
could have been avoided if they had studied for and sat for
the exam. Would I have the right to know whether they passed
the bar? Would that have to be disclosed to me? This issue
could create distrust and could actually have a long term
negative effect on the careers of these attorneys which,
maybe, the Supreme Court didn't weigh in the balance of their
decision. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just some of my wandering thoughts. I also think we have
officially spent more time debating and considering this
decision than the Court did. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">For what it is worth – I will
join in. Students generally study online, so I
think that studying for the bar would not have put
them at risk for contracting COVID. And if the
testing sites were social-distanced, then that, too,
would not have created a danger. I would like to
see the Dean(s?) letter(s) that were so persuasive
to the Supreme Court. They must be somewhere on the

Gregory and Laurel,<br>
<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>

style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">I,
for one, plan to write to the Supreme
Court on this issue. This broad and
sweeping decision to exempt 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><span

<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><span

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><span
