Bar Applicant's Text Experience Was So Bad She Wants Money For It
Briefly

In a Nov. 9 opinion, the state supreme court rejected arguments by Marla Matrice Murphy, who took the Delaware bar exam in July 2021 and failed....After Murphy requested accommodations, she was told that she would be given twice the time to take the exam, a private room in which to take it, and scratch paper during the exam. She never received the scratch paper. And she contended that software failures deprived her of the double time that she was supposed to have, and the proctors' distractions deprived her of the private-room accommodation.
Far from the sought out damages, the court decided that the proper remedy would have been for her to get another crack at the bar free of charge with the proper accommodations. If you ask me, the remedy should also include the provision that Murphy would get different proctors - things are bad enough without feeling like you're in Groundhog Day.
