If the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee gets its way, graduating law students in Connecticut will be allowed to represent clients in clinics under the guidance of a licensed attorney until those students have a chance to take the bar examination, which has been pushed back from late July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anne Dranginis, a Pullman & Comley member and chairwoman of the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee, said the full committee will meet Friday and is expected to suggest amending the Connecticut Practice Book to allow law students to work with a supervising attorney and “have some autonomy in the process.”
