Feb Bar Exam: No MacBook Pro with Touch Bar function

Via Bar Exam Wizard – “Important Information for February 2017 bar takers: Several jurisdictions have banned use of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar on the February bar exam. As of 1/28, the following jurisdictions will NOT permit bar takers to use the new MacBook on the February bar exam: CA, CO, OK, TN, MA, NY, and WV. IL will allow use of the MacBook as long as you disable the Touch Bar function. If you have a MacBook you must contact the IL bar examiners ASAP and disable the Touch Bar function. If anyone is found using a MacBook with an enabled Touch Bar during the exam, they will be immediately dismissed. If you own a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar function, check with your jurisdiction to see if you are permitted to use it. 1/29 Update: MD and PA have also banned the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar function. 1/31 Update: Add OH and TX to the list of jurisdictions banning use of the new MacBook Pro. NC will permit use but the touch bar must be disabled prior to entry into the testing facility and at the exam, proctors and techs will verify that is disabled. 1/31 Update: Looks like FL and SC will ban use of the new MacBook Pro.”
