It’s been quite the whirlwind for Colorado. After telling everyone that bar results would be out at the end of the month, the state accidentally informed everyone through an email blast earlier in the week. After yanking down the results and informing everyone that it was all a Beta test and the results were fake, they’ve now gone ahead and released the real results.
Which, tipsters inform us, appear to be the same results from before.
After toying with the emotions of examinees, officials released this statement assuring folks that the results were not “reliable or accurate.”
Protégé™ In CourtLink® Explains The Whole Case Faster
Designed to reduce manual docket work by prioritizing what litigators need most: on-demand full docket summarization that explains the whole case to date, followed by on-demand document summaries for filing triage, and AI-powered natural language searching for faster search and retrieval.

This no doubt produced terror in those who thought they’d passed and elation in those fearing that they failed. We argued at the time that keeping people in limbo for another 20 days would be cruel at this point and that if the state was lying about these results being fake, they should come right out and release everything immediately. So at least they’ve done that.
But why the lies? Don’t these folks deserve some candor? As one tipster put it:
At bottom, if an attorney lied to the public like this, they would face serious discipline. Therefore… the attorney regulation counsel should resign, or be fired.

As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.
It’s hard to argue with that logic.
