BLOOMBERG LAW — Most U.S. bar exams are standard, but law school graduates will encounter starkly different Covid-19 precautions next month depending on the state where they take the test. Michigan requires masks, but not Texas. New York requires vaccination proof—though not in Buffalo and Albany—and Florida doesn’t. Ohio will use bathroom monitors to enforce social distancing, and Georgia promises extra scrutiny for test takers with a runny nose. Welcome to in-person bar exams, 2022-style. States that adopted differing patchworks to battle the Covid-19 pandemic are extending the variation to law graduates taking the biggest test of their lives. “For many, an already stressful experience will be made more stressful,” said Aaron Taylor, executive director of the AccessLex Center for Legal Education Excellence. “I surely wouldn’t want to take a bar exam alongside maskless and unvaccinated peers.” A Bloomberg Law examination of the 10 largest states by population shows a wide range of precautions for the Feb. 22-23 tests.
