Episode Details

Washington State just dropped a major lifeline for bar exam takers hit by tech chaos: first-time applicants who couldn’t take the July test due to system failures can now get licensed without ever sitting for the exam. If you’re stuck between a job offer and a broken test, this waiver could be your golden ticket—though it’s off-limits if you’ve failed before. You still have the option to retake the exam in September or later, or even get a refund. Officials rushed this decision to keep the legal pipeline open, acknowledging no tech fix is perfect—but they needed to act fast. Apply by noon August 14th via email to admissions@wsba.org. The bar association is ready to welcome new attorneys with mentorship and support.
