The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) Outline

The MPRE is a sixty-question, 125-minute multiple-choice examination administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. The MPRE is based on the law governing the conduct of lawyers, including the disciplinary rules of professional conduct currently articulated in the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, and controlling constitutional decisions and generally accepted principles established in leading federal and state cases and in procedural and evidentiary rules. A passing score on the MPRE is required for admission to the bars of all but four US jurisdictions.

The exam is offered nationwide each Spring, Summer, and Fall and the majority of states allow students to take the MPRE before graduation from law school. Most students take the exam sometime after their second year of law school. A law school course in ethics is not crucial to your success on the MPRE. Unlike the bar exam, you can take the MPRE in any state and have your score submitted to another state. In fact, you don't even need to know where you will be taking the bar exam when you take the MPRE. Your score can be transferred at a later date.
