Citing serious concerns about a “rush” to adopt a nationally standardized bar exam, the New York State Bar Association is recommending that the court system delay the decision on adopting the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) to allow further study on bar pass rates and the impact on test takers, particularly minority groups.
The state bar is also recommending that if the court system adopts the UBE or makes other major changes to the test, that changes be phased in with “fair advance and appropriate notice” to test takers. Specifically, the state bar seeks a two-year reprieve of the proposed change, if it’s adopted, effectively delaying a new exam until 2017.
