1 LL.M. STUDENTS AND THE BAR EXAM Table of Contents New York Bar Exam... 1 Error! Reference source not found Other State Bar Exams... 5 LL.M. students are generally eligible to take the bar exam in New York, California, and a few other states. Eligibility requirements are subject to change, so please review the requirements of the jurisdiction in which you are seeking admission. Furthermore, additional states than those included in this guide may admit foreign-trained applicants to the bar. Therefore, please directly contact the state bar examiner in a state to which you would like to apply to determine your eligibility for that state s bar exam. This guide is an overview of the admission requirements to select state bar exams for LL.M. students. New York Bar Exam 1 The New York bar exam 2 lasts two days and is offered twice a year, in July and February. The first day of the exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, one Multistate Performance Test (MPT) question, and five essay questions. The second day is the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), which lasts six-hours and consists of 200 multiple-choice questions. The MBE covers six substantive areas of law: contracts, torts, constitutional law, criminal law and procedure, evidence and real property. Additional information on the bar exam components and eligibility requirements can be found at Step 1: Determine Your Eligibility. You can determine your eligibility to sit for the New York state bar exam by visiting and reading Court Rules Section 520. The New York bar examiners encourage applicants to request an evaluation of their eligibility no more than one year before they plan to sit for the exam. To be eligible to sit for the bar exam, applicants must satisfactorily provide proof of the following Section requirements: 1.) applicant has fulfilled the educational requirements necessary for admission to practice law in a foreign country other than the United States; 2.) applicant s period of studying law is at least substantially equivalent in duration to what ABA-approved law schools require; 1 Adapted from Yale Law School, LLMs and the NY Bar Exam, (Sept. 23, 2010, 9:53AM). 2 This is a general guide regarding steps to take when contemplating taking the New York state bar exam. Please visit for specific information regarding New York s bar exam. 1 Last Updated: October 2010
2 3.) applicant attended a law school that was recognized by the accrediting agency of that country s government; 4.) the jurisprudence of the foreign country is based upon English Common Law principles; and 5.) applicant completed a program and course of law study that was the substantial equivalent of the legal education provided by an approved law school in the United States. Step 2: Cure any Durational or Substantive Deficiencies. If a durational or substantive deficiency (not both) of the Section requirements exist, foreign applicants can cure one of the deficiencies by successfully complet[ing] a full-time or part-time program consisting of a minimum of 20 semester hours of credit, or the equivalent, in professional law subjections, which includes basic courses in American law, in an approved law school in the United States. (Section 520.6(b)(1)(ii)). Basic courses in American law is interpreted as taking a minimum of two courses in subjects tested on the bar exam. A complete list of subjects tested on the New York bar exam can be found at Step 3: Submit Supporting Documentation for Evaluation of Eligibility. The Board requires supporting documentation to prove compliance with Section The documentation must either be the original or a copy certified by the issuing institution. All documents submitted become property of the Board and will not be returned. The Board requires the following documents: 1.) official transcripts from every law school attended; 2.) certified degree certificate if the official transcript does not clearly state the degree awarded and/or the date awarded; 3.) proof of completion of the educational requirements for admission to the foreign country s practice of law; and 4.) a written statement verifying the schools were accredited during time of study. Additional documentation may be required, such as supplements to the official transcript or an English translation, to prove fulfillment of Section requirements. Step 4: Take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE). You must take the MPRE before you will be admitted to New York s bar. The MPRE may be taken before or after the bar exam. However, the MPRE may not be taken more than three years before sitting for the bar exam. A passing score of 85 on the MPRE is required. The MPRE is offered three times a year, in March, August and November. The exam is administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), and more information about the MPRE may be found at Step 5: Complete the Bar Exam Application. Applications must be submitted during the application filing period, usually a thirty-day period. Information regarding the application filing periods; the process for applying via mail, phone, or online; and additional bar exam information may be found at the New York State Board of Law Examiners website: 2
3 Step 6: Prepare for the Bar Exam. A preparatory course is not required to take the bar exam. However, it is strongly encouraged that students take a commercial bar review course before sitting for any bar exam. The bar review course will provide detailed reviews of subjects tested on the bar exam as well as practice exams. During the school year, representatives from the commercial bar review courses will periodically set up information tables. Please note that the Career Center and the University of Minnesota Law School do not endorse any particular bar review course. Step 7: Take the Bar Exam. A total weighted scaled score of 665 is required to pass the bar exam. Step 8: Complete an Application for Admission/Character and Fitness Investigation. After taking the bar exam, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate division, will send you an application form that will be the basis for the investigation into your character and fitness to practice. The Board must be satisfied of your character and fitness before being admitted to the bar. The application will ask questions related to past employment, other bar admissions, criminal record, child support, financial defaults, etc. The application also requires submission of two affidavits of good moral character, employment affidavits or letters, and a form certificate from the University of Minnesota Law School. Lastly, you will be required to interview with the Appellate Division Committees on Character and Fitness before you may be admitted to the bar. Additional information regarding the application for Admission/Character and Fitness Investigation may be found at click on Multi-Department Admission Packet.
