Citing concerns about the integrity of California’s February 2025 bar exam, 14 law school deans in the state have asked the state Supreme Court to return to using the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ multiple choice questions on the July test.
In a letter sent to the court Friday, the deans of the American Bar Association-approved schools said they have “serious concerns about the exam’s fairness and substantive validity” after the state bar revealed last week that its psychometric vendor, ACS Ventures, used artificial intelligence to craft 23 of the 200 multiple choice questions that applicants saw on the February exam.
