Reminder: MPRE Exam- Friday, August 10th

Application Receipt Deadline: July 3, 2007 ($55.00)—TODAY!!

Late Application Receipt Deadline: July 19th, 2007 ($110.00)

Online registration available at: http://www.act.org/mpre/services

A passing score on the MPRE is a pre-requisite to State Bar admission in many jurisdictions.  Most law students do not sit for the MPRE until after taking a course in legal ethics, so please plan your class schedule accordingly. (i.e. schedule legal ethics sometime prior to your last semester in law school)

The purpose of the NCBE Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is to measure the examinee's knowledge and understanding of established standards related to a lawyer's professional conduct.  The MPRE consists of 60 multiple-choice test items. These test items are followed by 10 Test Center Review items that request the examinee's reactions to the testing conditions. The examination is two hours and five minutes in length. 

The MPRE is offered three times a year:  March, August, and November.
