say you're an incoming first year and you fail the july bar and you're in biglaw. setting aside billable hours, how long do you get off from work to study for the february sitting, if anything?

IIRC, my firm requires someone in that situation to take 4 weeks off including the week of the bar exam. No clue if that's paid or unpaid leave, but would guess unpaid.

Someone at my firm got a month paid.
