Michigan
The Michigan State Board of Law Examiners is responsible for the Michigan bar exam. The Michigan bar exam does not have a great deal of original local content.
The examiners publish example answers to the essay questions, but they’re not free and they’re not available on-line.
The Michigan Bar exam, a two-day exam, consists of
- the six-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), weighted 50%; and
- fifteen 20-minute Michigan essay questions, weighted 50%.
The successful applicant must achieve a combined scaled score of 135. Applicants also must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of 75. Beginning in July 2009, the passing MPRE score will be 85.
The following subjects may be tested on the Michigan bar exam:
- business organizations (agency, partnerships, corporations)
- conflicts of laws
- constitutional law
- contracts, including UCC Article 2 sales
- creditors’ rights, including mortgages, garnishments, and attachments
- criminal law and procedure
- domestic relations (family law)
- equity (remedies)
- evidence
- practice and procedure, trial and appellate, Michigan and federal (civil procedure)
- professional conduct (Michigan rules)
