New York Bar Examiners Openly Discriminate Against Mac Users

By Ben Stevens

ADVERTISEMENTS

Law_books The New York State Board of Law Examiners recently announced that it will not allow its examinees to take the bar exam on their Macs.  Apparently, the exam software is designed to only run on Windows systems, and the board included this clause in its laptop policy, warning in capital letters: ?We do not support Apple products in any form including Intel-based laptops running Boot Camp ? no exceptions.?  As if it's not stressful enough taking the bar exam, in my opinion, being forced to do so on a Windows PC should be considered "cruel and unusual punishment."
