Part 2/10:
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, highlights the turmoil that unfolded when a critical technical failure rendered the exam defective. Test-takers were prevented from completing what is widely regarded as one of the most challenging bar exams in the country. The complaint contends that test-takers experienced trauma from the situation and argues that they paid for a testing platform that ultimately failed its purpose. The vendor had rushed to deploy inadequate software, knowing it likely could not handle the volume of test-takers.
