Dress code for bar exam?
This may be a silly question, so I apologize, but is it inappropriate to wear a hoodie and sweatpants to the bar exam (New York)? I don't see any specific dress requirements for NY. I know a few states make you wear a full suit to the bar exam. I've been studying for the past 2 months on sweats and that's what I will be most comfortable with but don't want to be the only guy there dressed like a slob.

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
Not sure how it is in NY, but in Nevada we are not allowed to wear hoodies.
EDIT: http://www.nybarexam.org/security/security.htm#oral. "All coats and jackets will NOT be permitted in the exam room." Now, whether hoodies are considered coats or jackets...

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
No hats rules make me wary of hoodies. However a confirmable and easy to remove top over a t-shirt is ideal because you can adjust layers to accommodate the room temperature.ScurryRay wrote:This may be a silly question, so I apologize, but is it inappropriate to wear a hoodie and sweatpants to the bar exam (New York)?

My advice, find a hoodless hoodie. If you do wear one with a hood, don't for any reason put the hood over your head.

A hoodless hoodie is called a sweatshirt.

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
Hoodie = no bueno. I took it in July 2016 and a girl had a hoodie and they told her to store it and wouldn't let her in without it. Felt bad cuz she said she was freezing cuz they were blasting the AC in Javitz.albanach wrote:No hats rules make me wary of hoodies.

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
They actually sent out an email saying hoodies were ok but you have to keep the hood down. I am less worried about the hoodie and more worried about the sweat pants. : )

You're totally fine re: the sweatpants. Previously, hoodies were not permitted; now, they are. Also new to this administration, no analog watchesScurryRay wrote:They actually sent out an email saying hoodies were ok but you have to keep the hood down.

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
Some moron probable cheated. I'm pretty sure all of the exam locations have huge clocks now, it's more of this weird personal attachment I have with my watch. I've worn it daily for years, it feels weird to not have it on, hahabretby wrote:I wonder why no watches - anyone know/have a guess?kc128 wrote:You're totally fine re: the sweatpants.

I am getting a favial, wearing a nice pair of jeans, a sweater and undershirt, and a necklace made of the darkened hearts of all the evil fairies I have sacrificed to pass this thing.

I googled “favial” to see if I needed to get one, too.RCinDNA wrote:I am getting a favial, wearing a nice pair of jeans, a sweater and undershirt, and a necklace made of the darkened hearts of all the evil fairies I have sacrificed to pass this thing.

I meant to say facial. The inability to edit has been detrimental to my post quality.

Re: Dress code for bar exam?
my state allows hoodies (not on head) so that is what I am wearing. I have back-up clothes just in case though.

In Utah last summer, we weren’t allowed any analog watches either, but we could wear hoodies provided our hoods were down.kc128 wrote:You're totally fine re: the sweatpants.

While there were several large clocks positioned throughout the large, airplane-hangeresque room, I found it to be much more distracting having to look up from my work to locate the nearest clock as opposed to quickly glancing down at my wrist to check the time. Makes absolutely no sense why they think we could possibly cheat with analog watches. Maybe it’s because some of the displays on the digital smart watches can mimic the face of an analog watch and the administration doesn’t have the time or inclination to thoroughly inspect everyone’s watches? Eh no clue but I still think it’s dumb.
