Tech problems foiled the bar exam. What's next for law grads?

Seattle Now

About this episode

Washington law school graduates were all set to take the bar exam last week, until technical issues forced its cancellation. The Washington State Bar Association is offering a make-up exam in September. But several law school deans are asking the Washington State Supreme Court to grant “diploma privilege," which means they could practice law without taking the bar. We speak with Anthony Varona, dean and professor at Seattle University School of Law.
