The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Thursday denied a petition calling for a diploma privilege that would allow recent law graduates to be licensed without taking and passing the bar exam.

It’s the second time the high court has nixed calls for a diploma privilege, leaving the state on track to administer its first-ever online exam Oct. 5-7. The court did not offer any reasoning for its denial of the petition, which was filed Aug. 17 by a group called Law Students for Equitable Responses to COVID-19.
