Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is a test that aspiring lawyers take to demonstrate their understanding of ethical standards and professional conduct expected in legal practice. It is required by most U.S. jurisdictions as part of the licensing process. The exam covers topics like attorney responsibilities, client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and the duty to the legal system. Designed to ensure lawyers adhere to ethical principles, the MPRE is a standardized multiple-choice test that evaluates a candidate’s knowledge of professional conduct rules necessary for responsible legal practice.
