From the article:
"The Ohio Supreme Court cranked up the mental anguish for Martin and 27 others who were told last week that they had passed the state bar exam. On Tuesday, however, the court told them to prepare to cancel plans for taking their oaths today because a grading mistake might reduce their passing grades to failure.
After the tests were re-examined, the court told all but one of the 28 yesterday that they had passed."

Um, whoa there nelly. Scoring goof. You didn't pass!!! Sorry.

On a related note - Scenes from the Admissions Ceremony
I had an exceptionally good seat in the second row and observed one of the coldest things I have ever seen in my life.
The candidates stood in line awaiting announcement of their names. Each candidate in line handed a card with their name on it to a woman who introduced each new attorney individually to the audience. After your name was announced, you were instructed to move stage left, where a table was set up containing the certificates issued by the SCOO. Farther left, one of four justices present was waiting to congratulate each candidate. One young candidate after em's name was announced moved to the table. The woman who was handing out certificates fumbled about looking for em's certificate. After an uncomfortable few moments, she picked up an obviously too-floppy-to-contain-a-certificate envelope and handed it to em. Em then proceeded across the stage to accept congratulations and eventually returned to em's seat. Em was sitting close enough to me to where I could steal a glance as em sat back down, and em was obviously close to tears. I guess the Board of Bar Examiners didn't find a way to notify em before the ceremony. Unfuckingbelievable, and clearly unforgivable.
When later in the day someone told me there was a ongoing hostage situation at CWRU, my first reaction was to wonder aloud if it was at the law school. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was. I couldn't imagine something more humiliating after all that everybody there had just been through. I concur, they should be shot, but now that I am sworn to uphold the Constitution and Laws, I cannot advocate such behavior.
