Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education. 

This week, I’m examining whether the State Bar of California’s recent bar exam leak could have been avoided if the state used the Uniform Bar Exam—it’s one of 15 that doesn’t. Next up is a look at a new private loan program offered by College Ave Student Loans specifically for students at Harvard Law School that seeks to undercut federal graduate loan rates.
