Co-sponsored by the MSBA, HCBA, and RCBA   

The bar exam has been the topic of much conversation in recent months as new law school graduates and other examinees have navigated taking the bar exam amidst the many challenges brought on by Covid-19 and as the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ Testing Task Force continues to study and make recommendations for the next generation of the bar exam. Join us on April 13th for an important conversation with our distinguished panel of guests who will discuss the bar exam as a measure of attorney competence in an evolving legal profession and what the future of the bar exam might look like. The Minnesota Board of Law Examiners will also provide an update on the steps the Minnesota BLE has taken to safely administer the bar exam during Covid-19.
