What Courses Are Tested on the California Bar Examination?
In addition to the courses you took during your first year (Civil Procedure, Contracts, Constitutional Law I, Criminal Law, Property and Torts), the following courses are tested on the California bar examination: Business Associations, Constitutional Law II, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, Marital Property, Remedies, Trusts, Wills and Estates and Professional Responsibility. Professional Responsibility is also tested on the Multi State Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) which can be taken during your second or third year. If you are planning to take a bar examination in a state other than California, check that state’s examination requirements to see what additional bar courses you may want to take in your 2L and 3L years.
