Attorney licensure may have just experienced a massive shift in practice, and the shift was not from NextGen. Oregon approved an alternative pathway to licensure that could provide the framework for other states to shift away from standardized testing. You can read the brief release here.
Debate will ensue regarding the ability of this exam to measure competence. Whether it works or not, I applaud Oregon for attempting to find a way to measure competence without using bubble sheets. I also applaud everyone who worked on the proposal, lobbied for change (some within our community), and continue to advocate both for students and minimum competence. Keep up the good work.
