The MPT consists of two 90-minute problems, in which the examinee is furnished with a file of source documents and a library of research material tobe used in accomplishing the designated task. The MPT requires examinees to:  \n(1) sort detailed factual materials and separate relevant facts;  \n(2) analyze statutory, case, and administrative materials for principles of law;  \n(3) apply the law to the relevant facts in a manner likely to resolve a client’s problem;  \n(4) identify and resolve ethical dilemma, when present;  \n(5) communicate effectively in writing;  \n(6) complete a lawyering task within time restraints.  \nIn addition to Legal Research & Writing, clinics, externships, and a variety of other courses provide opportunities to develop these skills.  \nWhat is the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)?  \nThe Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) is a full day, 200 question multiple-choice exam administered in all but two jurisdictions (Louisiana and Puerto Rico) on the last Wednesday of each February and July. The MBE consists of the following subject areas:  \n(1) Contracts,  \n(2) Torts,  \n(3) Constitutional Law,  \n(4) Real Property,  \n(5) Evidence,  \n(6) Civil Procedure,  \n(7) Criminal Law, and  \n(8) Criminal Procedure.  \nFor more information on the MBE’s scope of coverage, see the MBE Subject Matter Outline at [http://www.ncbex.org/pdfviewer/?fi](http://www.ncbex.org/pdfviewer/?fi)le=%2Fdmsdocument%2F226 . With the exception of Evidence, the vast majority of the content tested on the MBE is covered in your first-year courses.  \nSeveral subjects, however, may include questions covered in specific upper-class courses. In addition to required first-year courses, students are encouraged to take an additional course in one or more subject areas.  \nWhat is covered on the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE)?  \nThe Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) consists of six 30-minute essay questions and is administered on the Tuesday before the last Wednesday in February and July of each year. The purpose of the MEE is to test the examinee’s ability to:  \n(1) identify legal issues raised by a hypothetical factual situation;  \n(2) separate material which is relevant from that which is not;  \n(3) present a reasoned analysis of the relevant issues in a clear, concise, and wellorganized composition;  \n(4) demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental legal principles relevant to the probably solution of the issues raised by the factual situation; and  \n(5) demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively in writing.  \nThe MEE tests all the MBE subject areas as well as the following additional subjects:  \n(1) Business Associations;  \n(2) Conflict of Laws;  \n(3) Family Law;  \n(4) Secured Transactions; and  \n(5) Trusts and Estates.  \nFor more information on the scope of coverage, see the MEE Subject Matter Outline at [http://www.ncbex.org/pdfviewer/?fi](http://www.ncbex.org/pdfviewer/?fi)le=%2Fdmsdocument%2F227 .","cbCain0ELFh6tkql","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain0ELFh6tkql","pdf",144678,"English","# Uniform Bar Examination\n## What are the components of the UBE?\n## What does the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) cover?\n## What is the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)?\n## What is covered on the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE)?","[{\"question\":\"How often is the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) administered, and how is it scheduled?\",\"answer\":\"The UBE is administered twice a year, at the end of February and July.
