California has yet to announce a decision about its July bar exam amid much discussion among stakeholders, while New York has said it will administer the test in “early September,” a move that every law school dean in the state gave a collective thumbs down to.

In addition, any decisions by the states will require buy-in from the National Conference of Bar Examiners, which develops the test.
