AZ), the NCBE Board of Trustees’ then chair. The Testing Task Force was charged with undertaking a comprehensive three-year study to ensure the bar exam continues to test the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for competent entry-level legal practice in a changing profession.  \nThe study had three phases, and input from stakeholders was gathered during each phase.  \nPhase 1: Listening sessions were held with more than 400 stakeholders from bar admission agencies, Supreme Courts, the legal academy, and attorneys from across the country.  \nPhase 2: A nationwide practice analysis was completed by nearly 15,000 lawyers, who provided data on the work performed by newly licensed lawyers and on the knowledge and skills needed for early-career competence. A comprehensive and substantive practice analysis is vital to establishing a relevant content domain in any professional licensure exam.1 For the next generation bar exam practice analysis, which provided critical information to ensure the validity of the new exam, the Testing Task Force commissioned a survey of both lawyers new to practice and those who supervise them to capture current practices and identify future trends in the profession.  \nPhase 3: Two committees composed of bar admission representatives, legal educators, and legal practitioners evaluated the data produced in Phases 1 and 2 to provid","cbCaimaSeazAPGZM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimaSeazAPGZM","pdf",1962570,"English","# Background Information\n## NCBE Testing Task Force\n## Content and Structure\n## Content\n## Structure\n## NCBE Testing Task Force Recommendations\n## Implementation Steering Committee\n## Fairness\n## Scope of Coverage\n## Content Scope Outlines\n## Test Content Specifications\n## Prototyping and Pilot Testing\n## Exam Administration\n## Grading and Scoring\n## Transition to the Next Generation of the Bar Exam\n## Options for Transition\n## Standard Setting\n## Ongoing Jurisdiction Input\n## Jurisdiction Advisory Committee\n## Meetings and Conferences\n## Additional Online Resources\n## Appendix: Final Report of the Testing Task Force","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the NCBE Testing Task Force?\",\"answer\":\"The Testing Task Force was charged with a comprehensive three-year study to ensure the bar exam continues to test the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for competent entry-level legal practice in a changing profession.\"},{\"question\":\"How did stakeholders contribute to the development process?\",\"answer\":\"Input was gathered across three phases, including listening sessions with more than 400 stakeholders and a nationwide practice analysis completed by nearly 15,000 lawyers.\"},{\"question\":\"What core knowledge and skills does the next generation bar exam aim to assess?\",\"answer\":\"NCBE recommends assessing foundational concepts and principles (e.g., civil procedure, contracts, evidence, constitutional and criminal law, property, and family law) and foundational skills such as legal research, legal writing, issue spotting and analysis, investigation and evaluation, and client counseling and advising.\"}]","Background Information on the Next Generation of the Bar Examination - Final Report | PDF",1789949242,101]
