The Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar (Board of Admissions) has previously announced that it will first administer the NextGen UBE in February 2028 and until that time will continue toadminister the current version of the Uniform Bar Examination, known as the Legacy Uniform Bar Examination (Legacy UBE). Under the Legacy UBE, passing scores are considered “portable,” such that a passing score attained in one Legacy UBE jurisdiction generally may be transferred to and accepted by other Legacy UBE jurisdictions.  \nIn July 2026, 10 jurisdictions, including Missouri, will administer the first NextGen UBE. Once the results from the July 2026 administration of the NextGen UBE are available, applicants from one or more of these jurisdictions will likely be interested in transferring their NextGen UBE score to Illinois for the purpose of seeking admission to the Illinois bar.  \nThe Illinois Supreme Court has approved a new order affirming its intention to accept transferred NextGen UBE scores in a timely manner. To support the timely acceptance of transferred NextGen UBE scores, the Board of Admissions will submit to the Court, on or before July 31, 2026, a recommendation for establishing a passing score on the NextGen UBE. Notwithstanding the July 31, 2026, deadline, the Board intends to submit its recommendation to the Court sooner, if practicable. This is to help inform applicants’ decisions about registering to sit for the July 2026 bar examination in a particular jurisdiction and preparing to take a particular iteration of the Uniform Bar Examination, whether Legacy UBE or NextGen UBE.  \nNextGen exams are administered over nine hours in a day and a half. It will test students on a range of legal principles including contract and constitutional law, civil procedure and criminal law, evidence, real property, torts, family law, and business associations. The exam focuses on skills used by lawyers such as identifying and analyzing legal issues, negotiation and dispute resolution, and legal research and writing, as well as advising and counseling clients.  \nThe Illinois Supreme Court oversees the admission and regulation of attorneys in Illinois. The Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar administers the bar exam and processes applications for admission to the practice of law.  \n(FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: James Brunner, Public Information Officer of the Illinois Supreme Court at 217.208.3354 [or](or jbrunner@illinoiscourts.gov)[ ](or jbrunner@illinoiscourts.gov)[jbrunner@illinoiscourts.gov](or jbrunner@illinoiscourts.gov).)","cbCaidDa1Gd8jaKE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidDa1Gd8jaKE","pdf",146752,"English","# Illinois Supreme Court decision\n## Timing of Legacy UBE and NextGen UBE administration\n## Passing score recommendation and acceptance process\n## Scope and structure of the NextGen UBE","[{\"question\":\"When will Illinois first administer the NextGen Uniform Bar Examination (NextGen UBE)?\",\"answer\":\"Illinois plans to first administer the NextGen UBE in February 2028, while continuing to administer the Legacy UBE until then.\"},{\"question\":\"How will Illinois support timely acceptance of transferred NextGen UBE scores?\",\"answer\":\"The Board of Admissions will submit a recommendation to establish a passing score by July 31, 2026, with an intention to submit sooner if practicable.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics and skills does the NextGen UBE test?\",\"answer\":\"It covers legal principles such as contracts, constitutional law, civil procedure, criminal law, evidence, real property, torts, family law, and business associations, and focuses on lawyer skills like identifying legal issues, negotiation and dispute resolution, and legal research and writing.\"}]","ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCES ILLINOIS WILL ACCEPT TRANSFERRED SCORES FROM NEXTGEN UNIFORM BAR EXAMINATION - Press release | PDF",1789956326]
