Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) InformationTo be admitted to practice law in California, you must take and pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). The MPRE is a 60-question, two-hour, multiple choice exam and is conducted three times each year: March, August, and November. A separate application must be filed for the MPRE. The application is available from the National Committee of Bar Examiners at www.ncbex.org. Applicants may be tested on leading federal and state case law related to the area of professional responsibility, the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and the ABA Model Rules of Judicial Conduct. An unrounded, scaled score of 79.00 or higher is needed to pass this test; however, a scaled score of 86 or higher will be required to pass this test beginning in January, 2008. The MPRE may be taken prior to a student’s graduation from law school. Chapman Law School students are encouraged to take the MPRE as soon as they have completed the course in Professional Responsibility.
