The State of Maine Board of Bar Examiners is responsible for the Maine bar exam. The Maine bar exam does not have a great deal of original local content.

The examiners publish example answers to the essay questions, but they're not free and they're not available on-line.  

The Maine bar exam, a two-day exam, consists of

• the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 36%;
• one 90-minute Multistate Performance Test (MPT) problem; and
• six 45-minute Maine essay questions.

The successful applicant must achieve a combined scaled score of 138. The applicant also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 80.

The following subjects may be tested on the Maine bar exam:

• Maine rules of procedure (civil, criminal, and appellate)
• agency (business associations)
• conflict of laws
• constitutional law
• contracts, including UCC Art. 2 sales 
• corporations (business associations)
• creditors rights
• criminal law
• criminal procedure (Maine and federal)
• equity (remedies)
• evidence (Maine and federal)
• family law
• partnerships (business associations)
• professional responsibility (Maine)
• real property, including real estate finance 
• statute of frauds
• statutes of limitations
• taxation (federal income)
• torts
• Uniform Commercial Code (articles not specified)
