## Resource

In this bonus episode, Ki'Ev, a graduate of Howard University School of Law, joins me to share what it was like (attempting to take) taking the July 2026 Washington Bar Exam and the chaos that unfolded when everything went wrong. We also discuss the emotional toll this experience has had on applicants whose futures were suddenly thrown into uncertainty, what happens next for the hundreds of examinees affected, and why so many are calling for accountability. This episode is a firsthand account of a moment that will likely be remembered in bar exam history. We talk about the future of the NextGen Bar Exam, what this means for aspiring attorneys, and why the voices of those impacted deserve to be heard.
