Sessions Description

  • The bar exam is changing. Whether through the NCBE's launch of the NextGen exam or the double-digit number of states considering the adoption of non-bar exam pathways to licensure, the world of attorney licensure is experiencing a significant reform period. This discussion brings together licensure experts from all corners of the country for a critical discussion about the need and effectiveness of that reform.
