The Michigan State Board of Law Examiners is responsible for the Michigan bar exam. The Michigan 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 Michigan Bar exam, a two-day exam, consists of

• the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 50%; and  
• fifteen 20-minute Michigan essay questions, weighted 50%.

The successful applicant must achieve a combined scaled score of 135. Applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 75.  Beginning in July 2009, the passing MPRE score will be 85.

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

• business organizations (agency, partnerships, corporations)
• conflicts of laws
• constitutional law 
• contracts, including UCC Article 2 sales 
• creditors’ rights, including mortgages, garnishments, and attachments 
• criminal law and procedure
• domestic relations (family law)
• equity (remedies)
• evidence 
• practice and procedure, trial and appellate, Michigan and federal (civil procedure)
• professional conduct (Michigan rules)
• property, personal and real, including real estate finance 
• torts (including no-fault)
• UCC Articles 1 (general provisions), 2 (sales), 3 (negotiable instruments), 9 (secured transactions)
