Operative words
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals plans to administer the Uniform Bar Examination ('UBE') on September 9-10, 2020, pandemic-related conditions and restrictions permitting. Social distancing protocols as a health and safety measure will be implemented, which will almost certainly limit the available seating. Each examinee will be required to bring, and to wear at all times while in the examination venue, a face mask. As conditions warrant, in the discretion of the Committee on Admissions, examinees may also be required to have their temperatures taken and to be free of fever and to satisfy other screening requirements to gain entry to the exam.... In consultation with the District of Columbia Department of Health, the court will continue to monitor COVID-19-related public health developments, guidance issued by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control regarding large gatherings and recommended safety precautions during the pandemic, and related directives by the Office of the Mayor of the District of Columbia.
