Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about how the coronavirus epidemic could impact the July 2020 bar exam, and the fact that you may need to adjust your bar study schedule for unexpected demands. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Our opinion on the likelihood that the July exams will go forward as scheduled
• How the exam format could change
• Using the lockdown to get ahead on studying if you can
• Having a Plan B in case the exam is canceled or postponed
• Looking for flexible, on-demand study options
