<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">I understand that this approach of
temporary licensing is being used by the Washington State boards that license
dentists and pharmacists; similarly it should apply to lawyers. I
encourage each of you to write to the Supreme Court on this important issue for
our profession. –Greg Ursich<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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><o:p></o:p></P>
