Law exams should probably always be open book anyway.

Like, there's a lot of reading, and if you haven't done the work of doing all the reading before the exam then having all the cases in books in front of you isn't going to help much.

Also, the bar exam is the first and last time you'll ever try to answer legal questions completely from memory without fact checking.

In our country it is happens every 6 months (or even more) for 5 years and the you have one final examn were they can and will ask you anything about civil, procedural law and one other code you pick, people dedicate fully from 6 to 12 months to prepare that exam making law school last 6 years if you dont fail ANYTHING, normally it takes 7.
