Bar Exam Lunch Appears To Be A Maskless Mess

For folks taking the in-person bar exam today, most states are requiring folks to wear masks — something proctors took all of a couple minutes to stop doing — while sitting uncomfortably close to each other. But what happens at lunch time? You can’t really wear a mask while you’re eating, right? Surely the site of the test would expand the distancing for that, given that they officially feel 6 feet isn’t enough to allow people to remove masks inside the testing area.

Ahem.

That’s from a post by Campbell dean Judge Rich Leonard tagged as “socially distanced lunch at bar exam for Campbell students.” And it’s certainly distanced but I’m not sure this is what the CDC had in mind when they put out their recommendations.

And what’s more troubling is that this probably is a better run lunch than some out there right now. I’d not be shocked to learn of a bar exam that turned its examinees loose on the town to mingle at local restaurants… assuming those establishments could even keep up with the influx of graduates.

Again, please take care of yourselves out there.
