Lawmaker expresses concern over bar exam incident at Hofstra

State Assembly Member Charles Lavine (D-District 13) said the Board of Law Examiners needs to establish and implement emergency response policies after a student taking the bar exam on Hofstra University’s campus went into cardiac arrest late last month, and the exam was allegedly not stopped by the proctor.

In the letter to the board, dated Aug. 7, Lavine said “the situation appeared disorganized, delayed, and lacking in clear protocol.”
