NCBE also provides testing, research, and educational services to jurisdictions; provides services to bar applicants on behalf of jurisdictions; and acts as a national clearinghouse for information about the bar examination and bar admissions. In 2026, NCBE will launch the NextGen Uniform Bar Examination, ensuring that the bar exam continues to test the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for competent entry-level legal practice in a changing profession.  \nOur Mission  \nNCBE promotes fairness, integrity, and best practices in admission to the legal profession for the benefit and protection of the public. We serve admission authorities, courts, the legal education community, and candidates by providing high-quality  \n􀂄 assessment products, services, and research;  \n􀂄 character investigations; and  \n􀂄 informational and educational resources and programs.  \nOur Vision  \nA competent, ethical, and diverse legal profession  \nOur Core Values  \nNCBE is committed to  \n􀂄 excellence  \n􀂄 fairness  \n􀂄 integrity  \n􀂄 service  \nNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BAR EXAMINERS 1  \nLetter from the NCBE Board Chair  \nDarin B. Scheer  \n2025–2026 NCBE Board Chair  \nW  \nelcome to the 2025 Year in Review, the 11th edition of a publication that highlights the incredible work of NCBE staff and volunteers over the past year. As you will see, it has been an exceptionally productive year for NCBE. As amazed as I am by all the hard work  \nand progress represented in these pages, I’m most proud of the alignment between those efforts and the mission, vision, and core values of this organization. These concepts are set forth at the beginning of our Year in Review for good reason—they inform everything we do at NCBE.  \nIn order to promote fairness, integrity, and best practices in admission to the legal profession, NCBEstrives to conduct its own work in accordance with those same principles. NCBE has worked tirelessly to build relationships with each of the constituencies it serves: admission authorities, courts, the legal education community, and candidates. The widespread adoption of NCBE’s products and services by jurisdictions across the country reflects not only the quality of the work NCBE does, but the depth and importance of those relationships. It is not easy to build a new bar exam, especially while maintaining the highest level of quality in our existing offerings and services. But it would be impossible to do so without the relationships we have built, the input we have received, and the hard work so many within NCBE and the broader bar admissions community have done. The constituencies we serve have placed their trust in us. It is not something we take lightly, and we strive to be worthy of that trust in everything we do.  \nThe broad array of NCBE efforts reflected in these pages exemplifies NCBE’s commitment to excellence, fairness, integrity, and service.
