Goodbye, DiFiore. The NY state #barpocalypse was your legacy, and those of us who lived it will always remember that.
Thanks for nothing 👋👋👋 www.nytimes.com/2022/07/11/nyregion/jane...

If you are an attorney who witnessed #barpocalypse (even peripherally) and think to yourself, “oh this next gen bar exam should go swimmingly” - you learned nothing

As a #barpocalypse bar taker, I can confidently say that members of the profession who sat back and just “believed in us” made absolutely no difference. The ones who got up and advocated for us, on the other hand, did.

#LawSchool Deans can remove at least some of the uncertainty for law students facing the February #barpocalypse #barexam. Most states allow deans to approve graduates as fit for practice as legal interns. Deans should mass approve recent graduates now....

Reminder to newly barred attorneys: be the lawyers you wish had stood up for us during #barpocalypse. Write to your legislators. Spread the word. Get people angry.

It’s extremely depressing to watch #CodedBias and hear these experts talk about how badly we need laws to regulate facial recognition tech - when the legal profession itself is using it, repeatedly, without a second thought. #lawtwitter #barpocalypse

Can't wait to be tested on reasonable expectation of privacy while being filmed in my own house next week.

I’m starting to practice MBEs in sets that mimic my bar exam day schedule, to practice not moving for 90 min periods at a time. This is some fresh hell. #barpocalypse

Anyway I just want to remind everyone that if this #barpocalypse mess is ruining your life and mental health too badly, you too can get free of this hell and can Kobayashi Maru the whole situation ... you just have to be willing to give up on being an attorney 🥴

Talking about #barpocalypse is important. It is also scary.
I’m proud to be advocating for a better, more equitable profession. I will not stop doing so. I just wish it didn’t mean potentially sacrificing my future.

Gentle reminder to #lawtwitter: there’s a reason you’re only hearing #barpocalypse stories from SOME examinees.
It’s not that we’re outliers. It’s not that we’re dramatic. It’s that we’re the ones who are choosing to risk our careers to tell the truth....

The wrong #barpocalypse questions:
“Why didn’t they just test everyone outdoors?”
“Why didn’t they find more, smaller testing centers?”
“Why didn’t they give out loaner laptops?”
The right questions:
“Is the Bar necessary? Are there better ways to license?”
Just saying.

"I was scared to ask for an accommodation or tell anyone...because I knew BOLEs wouldn't accommodate me for what I had just been through." #barpocalypse

From a friend. Apparently #NYBOLE also told her that she better not have this problem tomorrow, and that she should "just find a different room."
Because *obviously* examinees have limitless space at their disposal for test taking. #barpocalypse

Attorneys, if you haven’t advocated against the many inequities of #barpocalypse, please please stop commending us for our resilience. The fact that you know what’s going on enough to say “wow, that’s a lot!” but saw no reason to intervene and help us is a slap in the face.

I’ve decided to make a thread “primer” for attorneys who haven’t been following what’s going on with #barpocalypse.
Feel free to drop links to help brief them.

We got an email from the NH board today telling us to download the update and that it fixed the copy/paste issue. I don’t have a Mac so I can’t test it but haven’t people I other jdxs been saying copy/paste is not actually fixed in the update? #barpocalypse #NHBarExam

My non-lawyer friends are eating popcorn and watching the #barpocalypse debacle unfold and tbh I don’t blame them.
This is all so embarrassing for the profession.

Whenever I see @AdamStasiw scroll on his phone, release an astonished laugh, and say something like "....WILD," I know he's reading the latest #barpocalypse updates

@Lin_Manuel, your music is getting me through #barpocalypse, but just barely. Please help us shed light on this issue! Thousands of law grads are being held in limbo and our jobs are on the line.

For as long as I live, I won’t forget how I’ve felt throughout #barpocalypse. How my peers have felt. The lack of feeling from those in power.
No matter what happens in Oct, we need to keep fighting. Getting licensed isn’t the end - we need to make sure this NEVER happens again.

My therapist on the latest #barpocalypse updates:
"People tend to react based on their internal scripts, not objective facts. It seems like this script is one of mimicking professionalism and compassion - with no real empathy beneath the surface."
WHERE IS THE LIE.

Honestly one of the reasons I tweet about #barpocalypse so much is because I’m using this as a repository to track what’s going on because my brain is too exhausted to hold it all at once

I'm not sure why so many BLEs, Courts, and other #barpocalypse stakeholders need to hear this - but having a position of power isn't an invitation to see just how terribly you can treat people and still get away with it.
