Facing potential bankruptcy, the California Bar attempted to reform its bar exam processes by breaking from the NCBE to develop a more cost-effective test for assessing competency. This change was met with criticism for its hastiness and flaws, resulting in a disastrous February exam that led to refunds and promises of improvements. Provisional licenses may now allow recipients of the flawed exam to work under supervision while they prepare to retake the bar exam, but significant issues such as high passing scores persist. This tumultuous situation affects many aspiring attorneys in California.
