Students grappling with technical challenges during crucial Bar Exam testing.
A proposed federal class-action lawsuit has been filed against Meazure Learning following significant issues experienced during the February 2025 Bar Exam in California. Test takers encountered severe technical difficulties that led to chaotic conditions, with reports of computer crashes and lost essays. The lawsuit, which could exceed $5 million, highlights the Bar’s rushed decision to implement the software without sufficient preparation. The State Bar has proposed solutions, including fee waivers for retaking the exam, as concerns mount over management practices for future testing.
San Francisco, California – A serious storm is brewing for Meazure Learning, formerly known as ProctorU Inc., as a proposed federal class-action lawsuit has been filed against the company. This legal action follows a chaotic administration of the February 2025 Bar Exam in California, which many test takers described as a total disaster due to numerous technical issues related to the online testing platform.
Imagine sitting down to take what many consider to be one of the toughest Bar exams in the nation, only to have your computer crash midway, or worse, finding out that your carefully crafted essays didn’t save. That’s exactly what happened to multiple test takers who reported experiencing quite the nightmare during the exam. Many candidates faced severe panic as they scrambled to navigate issues that left them unable to complete the exam within the allotted time.
The lawsuit claims that Meazure Learning “failed spectacularly” in its task to administer the exam and allegedly misled applicants into believing that significant software problems had been resolved ahead of test day.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the lawsuit could potentially lead to claims exceeding a whopping $5 million against Meazure Learning. While the State Bar of California is not named as a defendant, the lawsuit suggests that it hastily pushed through the exam with software that simply wasn’t ready for such an important assessment. It seems the Bar aimed to save some costs by eliminating large testing venues, but this plan backfired and resulted in a situation fraught with cost overruns instead.
With so many test takers affected and the ongoing investigation into the situation, it’s clear that the impacts of the February 2025 Bar Exam fiasco will resonate for some time to come. As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how the legal landscape and the certification process for new lawyers will change moving forward.
