State bar associations seldom provide easy to find and reliably up to date information information about laptop use in bar exams. Some states do not use laptops, and don’t even mention laptops in their exam FAQs, while others make vague statements about laptop use, without providing specifics. I will only include a particular state if I have solid information about which software is used.
For specifics about the various software packages mentioned on this page (Electronic Blue Book, Exam4, Securexam, SofTest), check out the Exam Software page.
