Fifteen Kentucky law school graduates are left wondering what to do after being told they passed the bar exam recently but later receiving a letter saying they actually failed.

Out of the 18 test takers affected by the testing error, 15 who thought they passed the exam failed, and three who thought they failed, passed.

Now the group are calling themselves “The 15,” and some are working with attorneys Sam Aguiar and Georgia Connally.

In a letter, Connally’s client summed up her feelings.

“To find out that you failed the bar exam is one thing, But to have been told that you passed only to have that ripped out from under you more than 3 days later is unbearable, nothing less than unbearable.”

Connally said her client is mentally and emotionally struggling with the news, and she plans on pushing the Kentucky Office of Bar Admissions for some kind of action until the group gets closure.

In a letter, the entucky Office of Bar Admissions executive director apologized to everyone affected.

The group of 15 will have their fees waived for the February bar exam as they try again to start their legal careers by passing the exam.
