Missouri Adopts Uniform Bar Examination

Missouri has become the first state in the nation to adopt the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE). The UBE will test general, not state-specific, law. It will first be used for the February 2011 Bar Examination.

To ensure applicants have competency in Missouri law, applicants for admission by examination will also complete a course on Missouri law.

The Missouri Board of Law Examiners’ press release on adoption of the UBE is available at https://www.mble.org/news.action?id=780.

P.S. On a presumably unrelated note, the Missouri Board of Law Examiners is seeking a new executive director. See https://www.mble.org/news.action?id=840.
