This is a great Q-I think the situation is quite different with spouses or partners; I don’t think anyone raises an eyebrow, even someone like me with notoriously active eyebrow. Esp. if they’re coming with you to law school, they have a lot invested in the decision as well--as you note, your resources are combined; the law school city will be their city; your friend group will, in part, be their friend group; etc. One thing to consider, though: a lot of admitted student weekend programming is about life in the classroom, so those events will likely be of no interest. having them explore the area a bit on their own during those times seems like a better use of their time.

@@umichlaw Thank you very much for the reply! That all makes sense, and I am glad to hear it. My wife really wants to come see the schools I’ve applied to during certain events, but wanted to make sure it would (as you said) raise eyebrows. It sounds like we will be visiting together, and just using some common sense on what events/items she comes to.
