Washington Post: Virus vexes bar exam, leaving young future lawyers in limbo
UC Law students featured in Washington Post story about uncertainty of bar exam
College students across the country are grappling with the sudden mass migration of traditional college courses to the internet. But for law school students nearing graduation, the COVID-19 pandemic has held additional consequences: uncertainty over whether the bar exam will be offered.

The conference doesn’t plan to decide until May 5, leaving about 46,000 law students in limbo. Among those worried students include two University of Cincinnati College of Law third-year students featured in the story: Emily Hughes and Kaylee Price, both members of UC Law’s student bar association.
