BOSTON, MA - The Supreme Judicial Court and the Board of Bar Examiners today announce that the July 2020 Massachusetts bar examination has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday, September 30 and Thursday, October 1, 2020 in Boston.
The Board of Bar Examiners, in consultation with the Supreme Judicial Court, will continue to closely monitor public health and safety guidelines, including prohibitions against large gatherings, related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
