The Board held an all-day retreat at Lake Elmo Park Reserve in August. The Court appointed Ann Johnson as a public member to the Board for a three-year term beginning January 1, 2023. Ms. Johnson replaced Shawne Monahan, who retired in 2022, and joined the Board’s other eight members in deciding matters. Most of the Board’s work directly relates to applicant files and is confidential under Rule 3C(1)(b) and Rule 14 of the Minnesota Rules for Admission to the Bar. During the public meetings in 2023, the Board discussed the financial report, the Board’s Competency Study, articles related to bar admissions, and revisions to the testing accommodations process. In addition to the Board meetings, some members of the Board attended the National Conference of Bar Examiners Annual Bar Admissions Conference in Nashville, Tennessee for additional training. Board members also participate in committee meetings and character and fitness interviews.  \nIn May, the Board moved from its offices near the river in St. Paul to the Minnesota Judicial Center. With more staff working a hybrid work schedule, this move allowed the Board to reduce its footprint and save on rent costs.  \nThe Board administered both the February 2023 and July 2023 bar examinations in person at St. Paul’s RiverCentre. 706 examinees sat for the examination in 2023. The Board office coordinated two admission ceremonies for the Court. The May 2023 Admission Ceremony for successful February 2023 examinees was held in the Minnesota Supreme Court Courtroom with a remote option. The October 2023 Admission Ceremony for successful July 2023 examinees took place in the House Chambers atthe Minnesota State Capitol.  \nThe Bar Admissions Advisory Council (BAAC) met in person on June 23, 2023. The BAAC is comprised of the Board, members from the three Minnesota Law Schools, and representatives from the MSBA. The BAAC meeting primarily focused on updates from the law schools, the NextGen examination, and discussions of the Competency Study report, filed by the Board on June 1, 2023.  \nYEAR IN REVIEW – 2023 (CONT’D)  \nOn June 1, 2023, the Board filed its Comprehensive Competency Study Report and Recommendations with the Court , available for review on the Board’s website. The Board recommended that the Court:  \n• Adopt the NextGen Examination  \n• Make modest changes to the current Supervised Practice Rules  \n• Create an Implementation Committee to further explore and develop a curricular-based pathway for assessment  \n• Table a proposal to create a new supervised practice-based pathway for assessment and revisit that proposal following further study and experience with the curricular-based pathway  \nThe Court put the matter out for public comment and held a public hearing. A decision is anticipated in 2024.  \nThe Board undertook a comprehensive review of the testing accommodations process and forms, hiring an outside consultant to provide recommendations to make sure the Board is following best practices related to the testing accommodations practice to ensure fairness to all applicants to the Minnesota bar.  \nThe Board continues to monitor the progress of the NextGen Exam being designed by the NCBE and continued to make progress on the Board’s strategic plan.  \nBoard staff and Board members also spoke at each ","cbCaicqLH3ro9DWZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicqLH3ro9DWZ","pdf",1225067,"English","# Year in Review (2023)\n## BLE Background\n## Applicants to the MN Bar\n## Character & Fitness of Applicants\n## Pro Hac Vice\n## Supervised Practice & OBA\n## Funding\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What were the Board’s major activities during 2023?\",\"answer\":\"The Board held multiple public meetings, administered the February and July bar examinations, coordinated admission ceremonies, and discussed updates including the Competency Study and revisions to testing accommodations and related processes.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Comprehensive Competency Study Report, and what did it recommend?\",\"answer\":\"Filed June 1, 2023, the report and recommendations urged the Court to adopt the NextGen Examination, make modest changes to Supervised Practice Rules, and create an Implementation Committee for a curricular-based assessment pathway, along with tabling a new supervised practice-based pathway proposal for further study.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the Board address testing accommodations in 2023?\",\"answer\":\"The Board conducted a comprehensive review of testing accommodations processes and forms, hired an outside consultant for recommendations, and aimed to ensure best practices and fairness for all Minnesota bar applicants.\"}]","BLE-2023-Annual-Report - 2023 Annual Report | PDF",1789951660]
