California Bar Exam Scoring Adjustments Sought to Boost Passing Rates to 63%

In a bid to address ongoing issues with the February California bar exam, the state’s committee of bar examiners has sought further intervention following a series of troubling results. The committee has moved to approve two new remedies, aimed at assisting applicants who did not pass. One significant proposal involves requesting the California Supreme Court to sanction an additional scoring adjustment. This adjustment is designed to elevate the passing rate to approximately 63%. More details on these developments can be found in the report by Emily Sawicki.
