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 checking in with Vanderbilt Law School’s Cat Moon on what she has dubbed the #BloodyBarpocolypse. That’s the practice of some bar exam jurisdictions prohibiting test takers from bringing in their own feminine hygiene products. For Moon and her supporters, the ban exemplifies more fundamental problems with the attorney licensing exam—which has been pummeled with criticism amid the COVID-19 pandemic. On a lighter note, I touch base with University of Iowa law professor Greg Schill in the final weeks of the Yada Yada Law School. The fake Seinfeld-based online law school has been a rousing success and now has a charitable bent. Read on and stay safe out there!
