Here's a tangentially related fun fact! Before you take the uniform bar examination in New York, you first have to take an at-home section called the New York Law Examination. There is a book[1] that covers all the New York specific law that could be on the examination. It used to be provided as a simple PDF, where you could potentially search it, but people seemed to feel it made the test too easy - since everything was in that book. So they made it an image PDF.

Then, they put a warning on their site saying that they explicitly consider it to be misconduct search the book (e.g., by making the book searchable with OCR):

> The NYLC/NYLE Course Materials are locked in a non-searchable format in accordance with the Board’s misconduct rule prohibiting candidates from electronically searching the Course Materials when taking the NYLE. If a candidate, because of a disability, uses a screen reader to access written material, please contact the Board office by phone (518-453-5990), mail, or fax.

Kind of silly, sure! They don't want you searching the book during the exam, but they're fine with you going through it. And, following passing the bar exam, there is a character and fitness process, so students are fairly terrified of doing anything unethical, particularly things the bar explicitly says is unethical. So, it's basically an honor system, but with a big stick (although I haven't heard of any actual enforcement). If you OCR it, brag about it to your friends, and your friends really hate you, I guess they could report it.
