Court offers waiver or September retake after July 2026 NextGen bar exam disruption

The Washington Supreme Court issued an order following the July 2026 NextGen Bar Exam disruption, allowing first-time applicants who couldn’t take the exam to either take a September 2026 NextGen bar exam, or pursue admission by court order, with notice to the WSBA by August 14, 2026 at 12:00 pm. Those who completed the July exam with interruptions are not eligible for admission by order and may still sit for the February 2027 exam if results are not passing, without extra fees. Results for July and the special September administration will be released on October 9, with admissions by order taking effect then. Fees may be rolled over or refunded for eligible applicants, and a WSBA FAQs page provides additional guidance.

Washington Law Schools Seek Emergency Diploma Privilege After Bar Exam Tech Failures

Three Washington law schools urged the state Supreme Court to grant emergency diploma privilege after a July bar exam was canceled due to tech failures at the Yakima testing site; they argue a makeup exam won’t compensate those who spent on travel or lost job opportunities, noting the court previously granted such privileges during COVID, while WSBA plans a September makeup and the next standard bar date isn’t until February 2027.

Kardashian did not pass the July 2025 exam (she previously passed the 2021 “baby bar”), and this move exemplifies how celebrities convert criticisms or setbacks into marketing opportunities while expanding her broader, multi‑billion-dollar business empire.
