Georgia’s top judge has announced that the test to qualify to practice law in Georgia will be postponed and moved online because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton said in a statement Monday that the in-person bar exam scheduled to be held Sept. 9 and 10 has been canceled. Instead, applicants will be able to take the exam online on Oct. 5 and 6.

The statement says details about the online exam will soon be available on the website of the Office of Bar Admissions.
