The Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is a component of the Uniform Bar Examination. If you are taking the Georgia bar, and thus not the UBE, please refer to the Georgia Essays page for relevant information.
The MEE consists of six 30-minute questions. Developed by NCBE, the MEE is administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination on the Tuesday before the last Wednesday in February and July of each year.
The MEE is only one of a number of measures that a board of bar examiners may use in determining competence to practice. Each jurisdiction grades the MEE and determines its own policy with regard to the relative weight given to the MEE and other scores. Jurisdictions that administer the Uniform Bar Examination weight the MEE component 30%.
Instructions for taking the MEE can be found here.
