Law Students Sue Over Software Failure

Law students taking the bar exam have it tough: Three years hitting the books. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition. And all of it, potentially wasted with a few failed attempts at the dreaded state-administered test. So in late July, with one day of the grueling session behind them, thousands of law students were surprised to find that they couldn’t upload their answers using the software they purchased from Florida-based ExamSoft Worldwide Inc. Third-year law students with mountains of debt were perhaps not the best crowd to tick off. They sued. And they sued. And they sued.
