So, remember that earthquake I mentioned? It looks like there are some legal aftershocks–the California Bar might give all of the affected takers bonus hugs or something:

Grading of the examination will be conducted in accordance with the Committee of Bar Examiners (Committee) standard procedures. During the grading process, however, the Committee’s psychometric consultant has been asked to perform a psychometric study on whether the earthquake impacted applicants’ performance on the first session of the examination and to report his findings to the Committee prior to the release of results from the examination.

The Committee will consider its consultant’s findings and determine what action, if any, should be taken to ensure that all applicants are treated as fairly as possible. Any actions the Committee might take will be discussed in the information made available at the time results from the examination are released to the applicants, which is scheduled for November 21, 2008.

It’s not really clear what this means, but it looks like if scores are lower than average for that session, the Bar Examiners are going to apply an Act of God curve to even things out. I guess I’ll take it.
