We also greatly appreciate the leadership and flexibility that the Supreme Court of Texas and the BLE have shown to date in undertaking significant and unprecedented measures during this crisis, all towards the goal of ensuring that a bar exam can go forward and that applicants have a safe and successful experience: modifying the supervised practice rules, offering a second Texas Bar Exam in September, increasing flexibility for bar takers to switch their exam without additional expense, implementing various Covid-19 health and safety protocols, and reducing the bar exam from three days to two. In recent days, however, the arc of the coronavirus has changed, and these measures no longer seem sufficient.
