MPRE Scores Now Available
MPRE scores. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination scores for the March 6, 2010 exam are now available online.
The purpose of the NCBE Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is to measure the examinee’s knowledge and understanding of established standards related to a lawyer’s professional conduct; thus, the MPRE is not a test to determine an individual’s personal ethical values. Lawyers serve in many capacities: for example, as judges, as advocates, as counselors, and in other roles. The law governing the conduct of lawyers in these roles is applied in disciplinary and bar admission procedures, and by courts in dealing with issues of appearance, representation, privilege, disqualification, contempt, or other censure, and in lawsuits seeking to establish liability for malpractice and other civil or criminal wrongs committed by a lawyer while acting in a professional capacity.
The MPRE consists of 60 multiple-choice test items. These test items are followed by 10 Test Center Review items that request the examinee’s reactions to the testing conditions. The examination is two hours and five minutes in length.
