Uniform Bar Examination

The Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) is a standardized test used to assess the knowledge and skills necessary to practice law. It consists of multiple-choice questions, essays, and performance tasks, covering various legal topics. Administered in multiple jurisdictions, the UBE allows graduates from law schools to take one exam and receive scores that can be transferred between states, streamlining the licensing process for new lawyers. This helps ensure a consistent level of legal competence among those entering the profession across different regions.
