The new, rock-’em-sock-’em, jim-handy Tax Court website has launched, and mirabile dictù, it works! Mostly.
It states thereon that a press release issued yesterday, on a Sunday no less, announced the shutdown-induced cancelation (maybe) of the Examination for Admission to Practice in the United States Tax Court, a/k/a the Slaughter of the Innocents.
Except.
At the time of writing (9:57 a.m., EST, 11/3/25), the link thereto leads one to a press release dated 10/27/25, which says nothing about said Examination.
My faith in the Genius Baristas remains unimpaired.
Edited to add, 10:21 a.m., EDT: Sarah Silfies Finken, Esq., Administrative and Case Services Counsel at Tax Court, acting Public Affairs Officer, tells me that the Examination will proceed as scheduled on 11/5/25. I will post any other or further information as received.
Edited to add, 10:44 a.m., EDT: Ms. Finken confirms Examination to proceed as scheduled; good luck to all candidates.
I did find the news release about the status of trials this week. It explains their “cancelation.” So I did a word search for all Tax Court orders, and found 800 of them with this or a related word. Three, all by Judge Buch, had a single L, and the other 797 had two L’s. Fourteen of those were by Judge Buch, also.

Mr. Kamman, I applaud your assiduity. Perhaps their spellcheck is more acute than mine.
