Any updates to the content scope will be announced at least one year in advance of the exam administration in which they will first appear.  \nFrom July 2026 through February 2028, the NextGen UBE will assess the following:  \n􀂄 Foundational Skills: issue spotting and analysis, investigation and evaluation, client counseling and advising, negotiation and dispute resolution, client relationship and management, legal research, legal writing and drafting  \n􀂄 Foundational Concepts and Principles: business associations and relationships, civil procedure, constitutional law, contracts, criminal law and constitutional protections of accused persons, evidence, real property, torts  \nOther areas of legal knowledge may be included to provide context for testing Foundational Skills, but examinees are not expected or required to develop a base of knowledge in those areas. For these questions, relevant legal resources (e.g., statutes, regulations, and case law) will be provided. Family law and trusts and estates will appear in this way—embedded within skills-focused questions—on every exam from July 2026 through February 2028.  \nNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BAR EXAMINERS | AUGUST 2025 1  \nNEXTGEN UBE CONTENT SCOPE | JULY 2026 FEBRUARY 2027 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND TASKS  \nFoundational Skills and Tasks  \nThe Foundational Skills are organized into four groups, as shown below, and are assessed in the context of one or more of the Foundational Concepts and Principles or other areas of doctrinal law.  \nEach skill is measured through a set of defined tasks (pp. 3–5). While any task may assess skills from any group, the icon accompanying each task indicates the skills group most closely aligned with that task’s primary focus.  \nFoundational Skills Group A  \nFoundational Skills Group B  \nFoundational Skills Group C  \nFoundational Skills Group D  \nIssue Spotting and Analysis, Investigation and Evaluation  \nClient Counseling and Advising, Negotiation and Dispute Resolution, Client Relationship and Management  \nLegal Research  \nLegal Writing and Drafting  \nThe purpose of Foundational Skills Group A is to assess the extent to which an examinee can apply fundamental legal principles and legal reasoning to analyze given fact patterns.  \n\n| The purpose of Foundational Skills Group B is to assess the extent to which an examinee can identify lawyering strategies within the lawyer-client relationship, based on the relevant rules and standards and consistent with a client’s objectives, interests, and constraints.\u003Cbr","cbCaifqgEHsF7Qb3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifqgEHsF7Qb3","pdf",6109365,46,"English","# About the NextGen UBE Content Scope\n# Foundational Skills and Tasks\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Business Associations and Relationships\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Civil Procedure\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Constitutional Law\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Contracts\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Criminal Law and Constitutional Protections of Accused Persons\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Evidence\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Real Property\n# Foundational Concepts and Principles: Torts\n# NextGen UBE Key Words and Phrases","[{\"question\":\"Which exam administrations does the content scope cover?\",\"answer\":\"The scope applies to the July 2026 and February 2027 administrations of the NextGen UBE, with updates announced at least one year in advance of the first appearance.\"},{\"question\":\"What Foundational Skills are assessed in the NextGen UBE?\",\"answer\":\"The exam assesses issue spotting and analysis, investigation and evaluation, client counseling and advising, negotiation and dispute resolution, client relationship and management, legal research, legal writing and drafting.\"},{\"question\":\"Are examinees expected to build baseline knowledge in embedded doctrinal areas like family law and trusts and estates?\",\"answer\":\"No. Those areas may appear embedded within skills-focused questions for context, and examinees are not expected or required to develop a base of knowledge; relevant legal resources are provided.\"}]","NCBE NextGen UBE Content Scope - August 2025 | PDF",116]
