I've heard through the grapevine that Foley and Lardner doesn't provide summer stipend/Bar Stipend while studying for the bar. Can anyone confirm this? Entertaining an offer from them now.

Why don't you just ask your HR contact? BOOM. FTFY.

Rather not out myself given the size of these classes, so Milwaukee, Madison, Detroit, NYC, Orlando offices.

Already did and they said they don't. But i've heard from past classes they did provide them. So i'm curious if this is b/c of the office i'm in or if it is a change in policy firm-wide.

Hmm... I'm confused, so what is the current policy?

I really hope they're sending the different offices out in waves... I'm still waiting on one and had felt good about it

From what i've heard, and i'm looking at a major secondary market, is that they still cover bar exam/study expenses - direct bill to barbri/themis, reimburse for bar expenses. They no longer provide a summer stipend to study for the bar.

That sounds like what the chart shows--exam expenses & review course reimbursed, but no bar stipend/graduation bonus--unless they've also done away with the separate possibility of a salary advance. Definitely take the word of anyone who has spoken to HR or recruiters over the chart; I'm just trying to make sure that we're not conflating a bonus stipend with a salary advance.
