In a move aimed at reducing costs, the State Bar of California’s board of trustees is expected to contemplate swapping the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ exam and new licensing test with an independently crafted state bar examination. Notably, the proposed examination approach would entertain remote administration, presenting a potentially significant shift in the standard licensing procedure.
This development is anticipated to curtail up to $4.2 million in annual expenses, offering substantial financial advantages, as per a memo published online ahead of the impending trustees’ meeting.
