Security Policy
The Board of Law Examiners has implemented a new policy regarding items that may be brought into the examination room and/or testing area, effective with the giving of the February 2006 bar examination.
Applicants are not permitted to bring any items into the examination room other than a clear plastic food storage type bag (maximum size one gallon), which may only contain:
| |
Admission Certificate |
| |
Government Issued Photo I.D. |
| |
Wallet |
| |
Keys |
| |
Earplugs (not the big earphone/headphone type) |
| |
Pens, pencils, erasers |
| |
Medication and medical items |
| |
Facial tissue |
| |
Non-digital watch or timepiece |
| |
One clear plastic bottle of water/juice/soda per exam session |
The following items are strictly prohibited and will not be permitted in the exam room or
the testing area, which includes the examination room, rest rooms, and hallway:
| |
Handbags |
| |
Purses |
| |
Hats, hoods or any other headgear (except items of religious apparel) |
| |
Backpacks |
| |
Duffle bags |
| |
Briefcases |
| |
Tote bags |
| |
Notes |
| |
Scratch paper |
| |
Books, magazines, newspapers, or any other reading material |
| |
Bar review or other study material in any format or media |
| |
Electronic devices such as cell phones, calculators, pagers, cameras, radios, recording devices, hand-held computers, any type of personal digital assistant, wireless e-mail devices, etc. |
| |
iPods or similar devices |
| |
Headphones or headsets |
| |
Imaging devices |
| |
Any type of wireless communication device |
| |
Weapons of any kind, regardless of whether you have a permit to carry |
| |
Any other item not specifically allowed |
Be prepared to demonstrate that your clothing does not contain prohibited items.
It is best not to even bring the prohibited items to the examination site because they will not be permitted into the examination room and there is no place to store them. The Board will not be responsible for the loss or damage to personal property, so it is strongly recommended that any such items be left at home, in your hotel room, or in your car.
Possession of a prohibited device or item at the examination will be treated as a cheating incident and you may be immediately DISQUALIFIED AND EJECTED from the examination.
