They just changed policy to T-Th in-office mandatory. I’m assuming it will be enforced at least for the first few months. While things may lax by the time you come in for the summer, I think they really will want summers in in person. I don’t understand when summers and first years are allowed to work from home. I think it’s incredibly challenging to learn law and be mentored from a different location.

Is this policy for staff as well or just attorneys?

Biglaw always covers bar prep, ask recruiting though for specifics—- sometimes they just give you a check up front in which case you might just want to go w the cheapest prep available

I’m at RG NY — congrats!! Can confirm A4 and A5 are correct

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
