The California Bar Is Flat Broke And Its Plan To Fix This Involves Throwing Out The Existing Bar Exam
Briefly

The Admissions Fund faces insolvency in 2026. The State Bar's adopted 2024 budget forecasts Admissions Fund deficit spending of $3.8 million; the fund is projected to end 2024 with just $3.3 million of reserves.
The State Bar of California is broke. In an effort to save itself, it has proposed (the proposal still needs to be accepted) that it discontinue all relationship with the NCBE.
Indeed, the State Bar memo estimates that adopting the changes would yield between $2.8 million and $4.2 million in annual savings. The reform would also have the benefit of aiding applicants who currently have to deal with the hassle of traveling and lodging to take in-person exams.
