The fees for applying to the Wisconsin Bar Exam vary depending on when the application is submitted. If an application is submitted after the initial deadline, the applicant must pay an additional late fee. This encourages applicants to submit their materials on time.
The standard application deadline for the July Wisconsin Bar Exam is typically around April 1. Applications submitted after this deadline may incur a late fee, and there is a final cutoff date after which applications are not accepted.
Applicants must provide proof of graduation from an ABA-accredited law school (unless applying via diploma privilege) as part of the application process. This is essential for confirming eligibility to sit for the bar exam or to receive diploma privilege.
Once an application fee is submitted for the Wisconsin Bar Exam, it is typically non-refundable. If an applicant decides not to sit for the exam, they forfeit the fee and would need to reapply and pay the fee again for a future exam.
If an applicant misses the initial deadline, they can still apply to take the Wisconsin Bar Exam, but they will be required to pay a late fee. The amount of the late fee depends on how late the application is submitted.
