Should laptops be allowed in the bar exam?
Typing is much quicker, it could save the examinee time. And it would eliminate that nagging possibility of examinees who deserve to pass but never have the chance because of their poor handwriting. I for one has poor handwriting. One could come up with some disadvantages however, enough for a conservative Supreme Court to strike down such proposal.
In the US where it is widely practiced, there may be a limit to the number of people who can use a computer on the exam. You have to register for the opportunity for a computer spot. This may be for security reasons. There is also that nil possibility that the computer would crash in the middle of the exam taking. Say goodbye to your well-thought out answers.
What do you think? That we need bar exam reforms is no longer a question. Ours may still be a very credible exam, but definitely far from being fair.
