To take or Not to take the Bar Exam
Posted: Thu May 08, 2014 12:57 pm
Hello TLSers,
I just got offered a non-law position with a local county doing policy related stuff. I am very interested in the position and will accept it. The thing is I was unemployed up to this point, and signed up to take a bar exam in the same state. The hiring committee made it obvious that I should not spend time studying for the bar once I start working since it will be very busy the first couple months of work.
I am hoping someone here who took a non-legal job can share their experiences, whether to take the bar exam and/or how to handle membership requirements (e.g. fees, pro bono hours(?))
Thank you!
