What To Bring.

Wow. California lawyers either have scoliosis, are ninety years old, or are wusses... or all three. Massachusetts lawyers apparently have been badasses.

Here's what we can bring into the bar exam (in "one clear plastic food storage type bag (maximum size: one gallon)":
  • Picture identification (driver's license, passport, etc.)
  • Wallet
  • Hygiene products
  • Keys
  • Pens, #2 pencils, erasers
  • Lunch
  • Spill proof water in plastic bottle (may be carried separately)
  • Earplugs
  • Medication(s)
  • Tissues
Here's what we are specifically prohibited from bringing:
  • Any person electronic device (PEDs), cell phones, Blackberries, etc., pagers, handheld computers, personal digital assistants, wireless e-mail devices, camera, radios, tape recorders and calculators...
  • Handbags, purses, backpacks, briefcases, tote bags, luggage, etc.
  • Notes, books, bar review or other study materials in any format or media
  • Head covering of any kind (hats, caps, hoods, etc.) [Editorial note: I'm sure there is an exemption made for religious coverings, but it's not noted anywhere on the webpage. Curious.]
  • Headphones or headsets
  • Weapons of any kind
  • Scrap paper
  • Highlighters [Editorial note: Boo.]
  • Any other items not specifically allowed

yes, three years later, I would like to note that we are not permitted to wear flip flops (or any other noisy shoes...?) or hoodie sweatshirts. the uniform of most people I know, who have all been studying so hard and with brains so mushy I hope they can remember how to tie shoes on exam day.
