California lowering bar exam cut score

After the CA Supreme Court said it won't lower the score, I haven't heard anything anymore about it. In the meanwhile another law school, Thomas Jefferson, is about to close (it was recently put on probation for its low bar pass rate).

Do you have any insider info about whether the law schools are planning something? Or did they just give up? Man, a 135-139 score would make so many people happy...

Probably, as we have now one of the lowest unemployment rates in history. Regardless, lobbyists, laws schools especially, don’t really care about it. My question was simply focused on what’s the law school’s next move and how, we the bar takers, may benefit from that.

LOL California doesn’t have anything close to a shortage of lawyers.

Good riddance to Thomas Jefferson. It’s one of the worst and most expensive law schools in the country. Hopefully more scam schools like TJ close like dominos.
