In Re: Petition of Marla Matrice Murphy

Summary

The Court affirmed the Board of Bar Examiners’ decision after concluding that substantial evidence supported the finding that Murphy received her private-room and double-time accommodations, although she was denied scratch paper. The Court also held that the Hearing Panel did not abuse its discretion by denying damages, attorneys’ fees, or costs because Rule 32(c) does not authorize damages and the record did not establish deliberate indifference. The Panel’s remedy of allowing Murphy to retake the exam without infirmities and waiving the application fee therefore remained in place.
