The Task Force issued its Report on March 5, 2020 and the Report is scheduled to be presented at the April 3, 2020 meeting of the Association’s Executive Committee and the April 4, 2020 meeting of the Association’s House of Delegates.  \nOn March 7, 2020, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued an Executive Order declaring that a disaster emergency in New York State due to the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID- 19) . 1 As the COVID-19 virus spread rapidly through the State and beyond, the Governor took a variety of actions to limit the contagion through restrictions on public assembly and nonessential public and private activity. In the light of the Governor’s pronouncements and the serious public health crisis existing throughout the State, Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence K. Marks issued a memorandum on March 13, 2020 outlining actions taken to limit high-volume court proceedings. Two days later, with the public health crisis growing to pandemic proportions, Chief Administrative Judge Marks issued an order limiting all the courts ofthe State to essential operations only, effective March 16, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. As of March 29, 2020, the coronavirus has continued to spread throughout the United  \n1 Executive Order No. 202.  \nStates, with our country now having more cases of infection than any other country in the world.2 New York State has been especially hard hit, with our State having nearly one-half of the reported cases nationwide. Governor Cuomo has stated that experts project that the apex of the pandemic in New York may still be 14 to 21 days away. 3 The Governor has ordered schools in New York to remain closed at least through April 15, 2020.4  \nWhile the major threat to public health and safety posed by the coronavirus, which is causing a rapidly compounding number of deaths and serious illnesses, may loom much larger than the disruption caused to otherwise healthy people, it is nevertheless the responsibility of the New York State Bar Association to champion and advocate for the interests ofthe legal profession. To that end, President Henry M. Greenberg requested that the Task Force consider the impact of the current health crisis upon the July 2020 administration of the Bar examination.  \nWe have endeavored to address these issues promptly as we are acutely aware of the anxiety and uncertainty that law school students who are graduating in the Spring 2020 are experiencing. In the best of times, graduating law school students may be apprehensive as to finding a position, starting a position, relocating and studying for the bar examination and as to consequences of the test results. This year, because of the existing public health crisis and related limitations on law practices, both public and private, there are reports that job offers have been or will be delayed or withdrawn, compensation may be re-examined, and general employment start dates may be adjusted. Worse, these economic dislocations come at a time when so many law school students are burdened with significant debt from student loans for both college and law school.  \n2 Maxouris, New York May Be Weeks Away from a Peak in Coronavirus Cases, CNN, updated 2:41 p. m., March 28, 2020.  \n3 Id.  \n4 Executive Order 202 . 11, dated March 27, 2020.  \nWe are also very much aware that it is presently impossible to forecast with certainty when the current restrictions on social distancing may be lifted.
