.@illinoiscourts@il_bar@2CivilityOrg: your silence throughout all of this speaks volumes. this exam has, is, and will continue to disproportionately affect bar applicants of color. #ILbarexam
30% of Illinoisians are not white. The ARDC tracks age, gender, and years practicing in its annual reports, but not race. Yet we still know that the racial makeup of lawyers in Chicago at least is not representative of the people living there: chicagobusiness.com/article/201712…
We might be wrong with some of our interpretations- the stuff IBAB sent us is not always clear, so if you read something another way or hear something different from your processor, please let us know!
We’ll do our best to update this thread.
‼️ Important Caveat p. 2‼️
Unless things are going massively wrong during the exam, we will not be active on this account during the exam.
We also probably won’t be very active over those two days in general unless things are going very poorly.
🧵: reiterating the point that the @NCBEX and bar examiners like @il_bar have known/should have known that the October 2020 remote bar exam was a VERY risky move for MONTHS + what they can do about it now. 1/n
On August 4, a week after the @NCBEX learned that one of its 3 approved vendors did not believe that the remote exam was feasible as currently planned, NCBE Trustee/ NCBE's ABA House Delegate Bucky Askew opposed the discussion of/vote on @ABAhod Resolution 10G. #barpocalypse 3/n
