Indiana

The Indiana Board of Law Examiners is one of the least transparent bar exam committees in the country. They offer general information about the exam, but precious little else.

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

  • the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 50%;
  • two 90-minute Multistate Performance Test (MPT) problems, weighted 20%; and
  • six 40-minute Indiana essay questions specifically covering Indiana law, weighted 30%.

Successful applicants must achieve a combined scaled score of 264. Applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 80.

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

  • administrative law
  • business organizations
  • commercial law (contracts and Uniform Commercial Code)
  • constitutional law (Indiana and federal)
  • contracts, including UCC Art. 2 sales
  • criminal law and procedure
  • evidence
  • family law
  • property, real and personal, including real estate finance
  • pleading and practice (civil procedure, criminal procedure)
  • taxation
  • torts
  • wills, trusts, and estates.
