Tech problems foiled the bar exam. What's next for law grads?

from Seattle Now · host KUOW News and Information

Washington law school graduates were all set to take the bar exam last week, until technical issues forced its cancellation. The Washington State Bar Association is offering a make-up exam in September. But several law school deans are asking the Washington State Supreme Court to grant “diploma privilege," which means they could practice law without taking the bar.
