California Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero has vowed to collaborate with state legislators to scrutinize the complications that disrupted the February bar exam. The Chief Justice’s remarks were part of her annual State of the Judiciary address, where she labeled the technical problems faced by examinees as “inexcusable.” During the online exam, candidates encountered extensive technical difficulties, including disrupted connections, extended response times, and issues with proctors, prompting numerous complaints to legislators and the state Supreme Court. Guerrero assured greater oversight of the state bar to prevent similar issues in the future.
