Default Rules on the Multistate Bar Exam
Default Rules on the Multistate Bar Exam
The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) administers the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). Many applicants might refer to the MBE as the “multiple-choice” section of the bar exam. The vast majority of jurisdictions, including UBE jurisdictions, include the MBE as a component of the bar exam. The MBE contains several default rules that you need to be aware of when taking the exam. The NCBE states these rules in their MBE Subject Matter Outline, so you are required to know them and apply them on the MBE. We have compiled all the MBE default rules by subject from the NCBE in this post to make it easy for you to refer to as you prepare for the MBE!
