Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
Sat for the NY bar (now the UBE) three times waiting on results now, but I wanted to take Florida for July thinking it would just be a couple of hundred. It's $1,200 just to shell out for the exam let alone hotel expenses? I found that surprising but I'll prob. end up paying it.

It is in normal range if $1,200 includes the C&F.gladiator0flaw11 wrote:Sat for the NY bar (now the UBE) three times waiting on results now, but I wanted to take Florida for July thinking it would just be a couple of hundred.

Re: Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
I'm confused, wasn't the UBE exam fee much less? someone in NY want to clarify lol. I'll likely pay it, just was expecting $600.00 or so.maxmartin wrote:It is in normal range if $1,200 includes the C&F.gladiator0flaw11 wrote:Sat for the NY bar (now the UBE) three times waiting on results now, but I wanted to take Florida for July thinking it would just be a couple of hundred.

Re: Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
If you've already paid and completed your C&F, then sitting for the exam itself is $600. If you want to use your laptop, there is a $125 fee making it a total of $725. I'm sure the $1,200 is about right with the C&F. I paid for my C&F registration the beginning of my 1L year, so I don't recall off the top of my head the exact price I paid to send that in.gladiator0flaw11 wrote:I'm confused, wasn't the UBE exam fee much less? someone in NY want to clarify lol.

Re: Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
I thought all the C & F was done after law school graduation during the bar process? My home jurisdiction is NY and I went to law school here in NY, I didn't expect a separate process down in Florida, thought it'd just be the exam fee unless I'm filing under the wrong category or something. I'm not the brightest when it comes to this bar process. Thanks.

Re: Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
Every state is a little different, CA also charges like 600 something for CF. So FL is on par with CA. I believe for most UBE states the examination fee includes the CF fee, but I could be wrong.gladiator0flaw11 wrote:I thought all the C & F was done after law school graduation during the bar process?

Re: Florida bar exam fee is over $1,000 smh
Yes the Florida bar fee was a total rip. However, I decided to apply after already paying the fee for the Washington state bar and then changing my mind to Florida. Washington state was half the price ($600) and everything was done online. In contrast, Florida required almost every piece of paper to be sent through regular mail. I was disapointed that it was such a difficult process AND it is more than likely that they are going to want additional information in order to finalize my application.
Anyway, I was a long time lurker, now a first time poster. I hope this forum will help me out with the Florida bar.
