Multistate Essay Examination (MEE)

The Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is a standardized test component used by many U.S. law licensing jurisdictions. It assesses a test-taker’s ability to analyze legal issues and communicate clearly in essay form. The exam presents several hypothetical legal scenarios across different practice areas, requiring applicants to apply relevant principles, organize their thoughts, and articulate well-structured responses. The MEE complements multiple-choice questions and helps demonstrate a candidate’s understanding of legal analysis and writing skills necessary for effective practice.
