MPT (Multistate Performance Test)

The Multistate Performance Test (MPT) is a standardized exam portion used in legal licensing to assess practical skills, such as analyzing legal issues, applying law to facts, and preparing legal documents. It simulates real-world legal tasks through a series of practical exercises, often involving case files, client information, and legal research. The goal is to evaluate a candidate’s ability to perform tasks legal professionals routinely handle, demonstrating competence beyond just knowledge of laws. The MPT helps ensure that candidates possess essential skills needed for effective legal practice in real-world situations.
