The Supreme Court of Minnesota has just approved a substantial rate hike…a rate hike to take the Bar Exam in the state who’s motto is, “L’ETOILE DU NORD” (which means, “Star of the North”). The rate hike kicks in come January 1, 2008.
The basic fee to take the Minnesota Bar Exam rises from $400 to $500, but wait… there’s more…
If you’re attorney in another state who’s been licensed for 6 months or more, and you want to take the Minnesota, the basic fee rises from $900 to $1,100. I guess the state must think that practicing attorneys are richer, so they deserve to part with more of their wealth for the exam. (By the way, if you’ve been in practice for less than 6 months, you get the ‘cheap rate’ of $500…lucky you!).
Repeat exam rates go up from $400 to $500 as well.
What about those who qualify for admission without examination? get their fee kicked up from $750 to $950, and for temporary in-house the fee goes from $500 to $700. It appears the cost of not grading a bar exam is on the rise, too.
On the ‘plus site’ of the order, timely refunds for bailing on an exam rise from $125 to $150.
And so it goes…
