After technical problems marred last week's remote bar exam, at least one plaintiffs' firm, Pennsylvania-based Sauder Schelkopf, is investigating potential litigation against ExamSoft, the software company hired to deliver the test. The National Conference of Bar Examiners, which designs the bar exam, said it is still receiving information from ExamSoft about the problem and does not know yet how many examinees were impacted, Reuters reports. Test takers reported that their computers crashed or froze during portions of the exam. ExamSoft has been sued in the past. In 2015, it agreed to pay $2.1 million to settle a class action brought by test takers who encountered delays in uploading their essay responses during the July 2014 exam.
