Prospective Lawyers May Face Higher Bar Exam Fees
Law Firm News
New lawyers in Maryland could be paying a lot more to take the bar exam.
The Maryland Senate is debating whether bar exam fees should increase from $150 to $325 or as high as $400. The proposal has sparked a fiery debate among lawmakers, many of whom are lawyers.
Some say bar exam fees are too low and that the current fee doesn't cover state expenses. They also say doctors pay a lot more than lawyers to cover licensing.
But some lawmakers insist young lawyers are fresh out of school and don't have hundreds of dollars laying around to cover the higher costs.
The debate continues Thursday in the Senate.
