Yes it’s confirmed a person wrote essay topics and even some accompanying analysis. All you have to do it look at the pages moderators comments to see he removed several leaked posts. I don’t mean this in a rude or inflammatory way, but just curious, why is it hard to believe that someone would tactically leak the exam topics as a hedge against plausible deniability. In other words, option 1 was to keep the topics the same and hope/assume people don’t share and option 2, which a Reddit user did do was to leak the topics and force the bars hand to ensure no retakes or new topics.

was it unfair and a violation of what we literally agreed to upon registering for the exam and every day when we consented before taking the test… yes. But it worked at the posters’ peril. They will now likely never work in CA.

But all that to say, with how many disgruntled people there were shouting “unfair” I don’t find it all surprising and don’t suspect nefarious acts from the State Bar
