This publication includes the questions and analyses from the February 2016 MEE. (In the actual test, the questions are simply numbered rather than being identified by area of law.) The instructions for the test appear on page iii.  \nThe model analyses for the MEE are illustrative of the discussions that might appear in excellent answers to the questions. They are provided to the user jurisdictions to assist graders in grading the examination. They address all the legal and factual issues the drafters intended to raise in the questions.  \nThe subjects covered by each question are listed on the first page of its accompanying analysis, identified by roman numerals that refer to the MEE subject matter outline for that subject. For example, the Constitutional Law question on the February 2016 MEE tested the following areas from the Constitutional Law outline: II.A.1 . The separation of powers—The powers of Congress—Commerce, taxing, and spending powers.  \nFor more information about the MEE, including subject matter outlines, visit the NCBE website [at www.ncbex.org](at www.ncbex.org).  \nDescription of the MEE  \nThe MEE consists of six 30-minute questions and is a component of the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) . It is administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination on the Tuesday before the last Wednesday in February and July of each year.
