Oregon Bar Review - Exam Information

Components of Oregon Bar Exam

The Oregon bar exam consists of 3 components: the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and the Oregon essays. There are six (6) essay questions.

Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) Requirements

Bar exam applicants must obtain a scaled score of 85 or higher on the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) in addition to passing the Oregon bar exam. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate that they possess good moral character and are fit to practice law. ORS 9.220 . The burden is on the applicant to establish good moral character. Exam dates for the MPRE are:

• March 17, 2012
• August 10, 2012
• November 3, 2012

Applicants must pass the MPRE within two years of passing the Oregon bar exam. The Oregon Board of Bar Examiners does not administer the MPRE.

Alternative Routes to Admission

Some lawyers may be admitted without taking the bar examination. These alternate routes to admission include: (a) Reciprocity , (b) House Counsel , (c) Law teacher, and (d) Foreign law consultant .
