Iowa
The Iowa Judicial Branch is responsible for the Iowa bar exam. This bar exam has no original local content.
Beginning in February 2009, the Iowa bar exam will consist of
- the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE),
- six 30-minute Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) questions, weighted 30%, and
- two 90-minute Multistate Performance Test (MPT) problems, weighted 20%.
Successful applicants will achieve a combined scaled score of 266 or above. Applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 80.
The following subjects may be tested on the Iowa bar exam:
- business associations (agency, partnership, corporations, LLCs)
- civil procedure (federal)
- conflicts of law
- constitutional law
- contracts, including UCC Article 2 sales
- criminal law and procedure
- evidence
- family law
- real property, including real estate finance
- torts
- trusts and estates (wills, decendents’ estates, trusts, and future interests)
- UCC Articles 1 (general provisions), 2 (sales), 3 (negotiable instruments), and 9 (secured transactions). Note: Articles 3 and 9 will not be tested on the February 2009 exam; however, they may be tested on subsequent exams.
