Bar Exam Requirements
If you're a 3L like me, you really don't know where you are going to take the bar exam, but you know there are things you should learn as you try to make that decision. So where do you go to learn about the different exams—what each tests you on, the format of the test, dates of the test, deadlines for registration, etc? How about BarBri?
Whether you're enrolled in BarBri or not, you can still access the info they've compiled about the various bar exams. In fact, from two URLs you can access info about any state. Start with these:
- http://www.barbri.com/states/mt/index.htm
- http://www.barbri.com/states/mt/inc/mbe_exam_page.shtm
(Yeah, I know this is basic stuff, but I'm obviously taking this in baby steps, ok?)

Hey, I'm only a 2 1/2 L (3 semesters down; 3 to go) but I have the same concern and I did NOT know to go to BarBri, so thanks! Some states, like Florida, want you to notify them at the beginning of your law school career. Hell, even at this stage I still don't know where I might end up.

Just out of curiosity, are you actually looking to find a job in MT?

You know, when it came spring semester, and bar apps were due, and BarBri dues were due, and I still had no idea what bar to take, the BarBri people singlehandedly managed to freak me out over and over again. Always demanding that I CHOOSE. Let me tell you, and I cannot emphasize this enough, that the bar exam and the bar apps are all very directed to people who know geographically where they want to be - which means law firm types and people who have already been practicing. Those of us transients in the public sector get all sorts of screwed in this process. Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it FEELS that bad sometimes.

Anonymous: Hi M! Of course I'm actually looking to find a job in MT!
Denise: Glad this was helpful. Like Woman of the Law says, I think BarBri only adds to the pressure in a totally unnecessary way. At least they provide a fairly helpful resource with pages like this.
