Hi, have you noticed a trend in demographics of people who fail the bar and/or do you have any thoughts or comments about it? Like many standardized tests, I believe the bar exam in my state is implicitly biased against people of color. One of my friends from law school who is Latina who failed the bar pointed out that everyone we know who failed the bar is a POC. I tried to do some research online about it but there wasn't much to be found.
More generally I guess, what are your thoughts on the trend of people of color failing the bar at higher rates than white people?
