A former paralegal and aspiring attorney is seeking to maintain her lawsuit against ExamSoft in federal court, alleging that the company’s software crash during a remote bar exam administered during the COVID-19 pandemic violated her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiff contends that both ExamSoft and the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee failed to provide the additional time she was entitled to under an approved accommodation when her computer malfunctioned. This case raises substantial questions regarding the responsibilities of exam software providers and bar examination committees under disability law.
