Uniform Bar Exam
As reported by our friends over at Above the Law yesterday, the Chief Judge on New York's Court of Appeals (that's its highest court) announced that beginning next summer, New York will begin administering the Uniform Bar Exam ("UBE") instead of an entirely state specific exam. (More details are available in a New York Times article.) With New York adopting the UBE, that means next year there almost a quarter of the 50 states will using the UBE, including many states out west. Here is a map of states using the UBE. In adopting the UBE, New York hopes that more of the nation will follow. However, some of the biggest legal markets (including CA, FL, TX, IL, DC) are not yet on board.
