While it was good that @il_bar did this, it honestly never should have gotten to this point.

If IL had just granted #DiplomaPrivilegeNow like UT, OR, WA, & LA, IBAB may have still been able to also safely administer the UBE to those who wanted/needed a transferrable score...
...as there would have been far fewer examinees.*

October 2020 examinees lost reciprocity with 23 jurisdictions because of @il_bar's and @illinoiscourts' decisions- not to mention all the additional jurisdictions that accept transferred MBE scores: ncbex.org/assets/BarAdmi…
* In WA, 571 were licensed w/ DP, while ~80 took the bar exam in July and ~50 will took the bar exam in Sept (bit.ly/3kfQQgd). In LA, 427 chose to receive their licenses through emergency licensure; ~300 registered for a remote bar exam (bit.ly/2ZAytuP).

🧵 Exam Day Info Thread 🧵

We’ve highlighted some #ILbarexam info for y’all now that we have the protocols.

We’ve also saved off a bunch of the various documents IBAB & ExamSoft have sent to us in one place: bit.ly/3l9J5sN

At the end, there’s a post-exam survey!
‼️ Important Caveat p. 1‼️

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.

.@il_bar just sent out a Code of Conduct for the remote bar exam.

(If you haven’t received it yet, don’t worry- you know how IBAB’s emails never arrive at the same time for all of us, if they arrive at all).

If anything goes wrong and we fail as a result, we’ll that’s just a shame.

Nothing to be done.

Cool. #ILbarexam #barpocalypse Image
What does P mean? Can we challenge if we are flagged and failed because of testing conditions? If so, how?

And 280 characters is not enough to go into our concerns with ExamSoft’s privacy policy. #ILbarexam #barpocalypse Image

🧵: 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

#barpocalypse #remotebarexam #barexam
On August 6, @Extegrity released a statement through @BarExamTracker saying that it would not participate in the remote bar exam.

Extegrity informed the jurisdictions it had been working with of this on July 27 and the @NCBEX on July 28. #barpocalypse 2/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

.@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…
@illinoiscourts @il_bar @2CivilityOrg: you are perpetuating this gap. By ignoring the problem, you become part of the problem.
