Going one step further in your education is always a good idea. CLE speakers or Mandatory Continuing Legal Education is further schooling that lawyers take after completing their initial admission to the bar exam. This exam when completed, will grant permission by a certain court system allowing a lawyer to practice law. Each state has its own system as well as its own set of rules. Once one is admitted they become a member of a certain bar.
In certain cases any lawyer that wants to be admitted will need to get a Juris Doctor degree from any law school. This degree is given to professionals that focus their practice on personal injury, family and corporate law as well as criminal law. This was first awarded in the late 19th century as was formed as a new version of the old European doctor of law degree.
The course involves writing and speaking skills such as communication, theatre, rhetoric and English composition as well as problem solving skills. The problem solving covers philosophy, statistics economics and entrepreneurship. Understanding human behaviour as well as any topic that is related to law will also be covered. Some students will be asked to take an upper level of political science and sociology depending on the institution they are attending.
The first bar exam in the United States of America was introduced in 1793 by the Delaware Colony and this was an oral exam in front of a judge. By the late 19th century these were done by committees of attorneys and were changed from an oral to a written exam. In each state there are certain rules that apply only to them.
Once each applicant has earned the Juris Doctor degree they are asked to participate in a Law Clerk program. In most of the jurisdictions one is required to pass a Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. This is a sixty question, one hundred and twenty minute multiple choice exam. It is set by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and was first used in 1980.
All candidates are required to sit for this while still studying law once the professional responsibility course is completed. Sometimes they are required to pass the MPRE before sitting for the bar exam. The bar exam is set by the State Bar Association authorised by the Supreme Court in some states.
Since the early 2014 some jurisdictions have bought out the UBE or Uniform Bar Exam. This consists of the MBE, MEE and MPT. The MBE or Multistate Bar Examination is a two hundred multiple choice, six hour exam and it covers constitutional and criminal law, torts and evidence to name a few.
The MEE, Multistate Essay Examinations is a thirty minute essay questionnaire. It has nine questions while many jurisdictions only ask that six be answered. The MPT, Multistate Performance Test is two different ones of ninety minutes each and these will cover anything to do with legal analysis, problem solving, resolution of ethical dilemmas as well as communications. These speakers are a non competitive environment where discussions can take place relating to anything that can affect the practise of law.
