The Utah State Bar Office of Admissions is responsible for the bar exam. There is little or no local content on this bar examination. Utah does not release any of its local essay questions to the public.
The Utah bar exam, a two-day exam, consists of
- the six-hour multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 50%;
- two 90-minute Multistate Performance Test (MPT) problems, weighted 18%, and
- eight
30-minute essay questions, weighted 32%. One of the essay questions
will cover legal ethics. Essays may be drafted by Utah examiners or
taken from the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE).
The successful applicant must achieve a combined scaled score of 270 out of 400. Applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 80 within two years of the bar examination.
