"California Supreme Court strips the Committee of Bar Examiners of its authority to decide the minimum score needed to pass the exam"

Excerpt:

"The state Supreme Court amended its rules to specify only the court has authority to set the passing score on the exam."

"The changes to the “California Rules of Court,” which become effective 2018, also empower the court to appoint a majority of members to the Committee of Bar Examiners."
