Kansas

The Kansas Board of Law Examiners is responsible for the Kansas bar exam. It’s a pity the Examiners choose to keep secret the essay questions on their bar exam. Half of the points on this exam are from local essays, none of which the Kansas examiners have chosen to release to the public.

The Kansas bar exam, a 2-day exam, consists of

- the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 50%, and
- sixteen Kansas essay questions administered over six hours, weighted 50%.

Successful applicants must achieve a combined scaled score of 133. Either before taking the Kansas bar or within 180 days afterwards, applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 80.

The following subjects may be tested on the Kansas bar exam:
- agency & employment (business associations)
- civil procedure (Kansas and federal)
- conflict of laws
- constitutional law
- contracts, including UCC Article 2 sales
- corporations (business associations)
- criminal law
- criminal procedure
- domestic relations & family law
- evidence
- legal ethics (professional responsibility)
- noncorporate business organizations (business associations)
- personal property
- real property, including real estate finance
