What is the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination?
It is a national ethics examination that takes place three times a year. Candidates seeking to practice law in California must pass it with a scaled score of at least 79 out of a possible 150. (Students who begin law school in 2008 or later will have to receive at least 86 on the exam.) As a law student, you may take the test any time after completing your first year of law study.
