Bar Related Courses

Preparing for the bar exam begins with choosing courses that are regularly tested on the state bar exam. Massachusetts have adopted and administers the Uniform Bar Exam. The topics on the MBE (multiple choice exam) have not changed, and the topics covered on the essays in the UBE are largely the same as the previous 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).
