The Supreme Court of California rejected the Portfolio Bar Exam alternative, stating it would cause "an array of ethical and practical problems" that undermined fairness and reliability.
The court indicated that a lack of consistency in supervisor quality could lead to significant disparities in the quality of portfolios, impacting the measure of competence.
Despite the California Supreme Court's rejection, alternative licensing programs for lawyers are gaining momentum, with Oregon and Washington adopting similar measures.
While California steps back from alternative bar exams, other states are moving forward, highlighting a trend of re-evaluating traditional pathways to legal certification.
