ABOUT THE MULTI-STATE ("MBE") PORTION OF THE CALIFORNIA BAR EXAM

The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) and is administered by participating jurisdictions on the last Wednesday in February and the last Wednesday in July of each year. The MBE is a required portion of the exam for all students taking the California Bar Exam. Attorney’s sitting for the California Bar Exam, may or may not have to take the MBE. Attorney applicants should check with the State Bar of California for more information at: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/

The questions on the examination are designed to be answered by applying fundamental legal principles rather than local case or statutory law. A given question may indicate the applicable statute, theory of liability, or comparable principle of law.

Many of the questions require applicants to analyze the legal relationships arising from a fact situation or to take a position as an advocate. Some questions call for suggestions about interpreting, drafting, or counseling that might lead to more effective structuring of a transaction.

All questions are multiple choice. Applicants are asked to choose the best answer from the four stated alternatives. The test is designed to give credit only when the applicant has selected the best answer. Therefore, applicants should mark only one answer for each question, multiple answers will not be counted.

What Subjects Does the MBE Cover?
