The California bar exam recently faced significant technical failures during its relaunch, prompting law deans to call for court intervention. Widespread issues reported by test takers have led the State Bar to offer free retakes in July 2025 for those who experience difficulties. As students and aspiring attorneys respond to the chaos, some have even filed lawsuits over what they deem a disastrous examination process. Despite the offers for retakes, many are questioning accountability for the problems and are urging the Bar to address the mess. Overall, the rollout of the new testing system has been criticized as unacceptable, with calls for remedying the testing chaos ongoing.
