Take the Right Courses
Check these charts to learn which topics are regularly tested on the state and multistate bar exams. Then be sure to include them in your curriculum.
Please note that, as of the July 2018 bar exam, Massachusetts will adopt and administer the Uniform Bar Exam. The topics on the MBE (multiple choice exam) will not change, and the topics covered on the essays in the UBE are largely the same as the current Massachusetts bar exam. However, Massachusetts Civil Procedure and Chapter 93A (Consumer Protection will not be tested on the UBE, and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) coverage on the UBE will be narrowed, focusing mostly on Secured Transactions (art 9) and excluding commercial paper (art. 3).
