Bar Exam Travel Question

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:45 pm

My bar exam is 2 days -- reasonable for me to ask for 3 nights hotel? Really want to settle in for an extra day.

So...arrive 2 days before, and leave the night of my 2nd exam day.

Much thanks.

Ask my firm. Sorry about the confusion.

I'm trying to figure out what the standard practice is. For a 2 day exam, do people usually just arrive the day before, or 2 days early?

I'm surprised your firm hasn't told you their policy before now, but this is as simple as calling recruiting and asking.

Edit: I believe the standard policy is three nights, but ask.

Huh. I paid my own hotel & transit expenses, and didn't even think to ask the firm... and they certainly didn't offer. I just figured that picking up the bill for the bar course was the normal extent of things.

I think it varies. I spoke with a friend whose firm covers two nights, another friend whose firm covers 3 nights, and I guess some firms don't cover at all.
