A passing score on the MPRE is a pre-requisite to State Bar admission in many jurisdictions.  Most law students do not sit for the MPRE until after taking a course in legal ethics, so please plan your class schedule accordingly. (i.e. schedule legal ethics sometime prior to your last semester in law school)

The purpose of the NCBE Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is to measure the examinee's knowledge and understanding of established standards related to a lawyer's professional conduct.  The MPRE consists of 60 multiple-choice test items. These test items are followed by 10 Test Center Review items that request the examinee's reactions to the testing conditions. The examination is two hours and five minutes in length. 

The MPRE is offered three times a year:  March, August, and November.  

Fall Recruitment Information-  Graduating Classes of 2008 & 2009:

Fall 2007 Recruitment information is now available on the Law Career Services website at http://law.utoledo.edu/students/career/oncampus.htm.  Please bookmark this website and read all fall recruitment information carefully including On Campus Interview, Resume Collect and Direct Mail as each has different requirements. 

Please check the site often as there will be additions and changes over the summer months. 

Now is the time to schedule an individual counseling session to discuss your resume and cover letter, and your strategy for securing summer and/or post-graduate employment.  Many students find it very helpful to discuss fall recruitment with a member of the career services staff through an individual counseling session;  it can save an enormous amount of stress at the end of the summer if you begin your preparations now.

University of Michigan On Campus Interview List Available:

The University of Michigan Law School hosts an Early Interview Program in Ann Arbor, MI that attracts law firms from across the country in mid-August. This is an opportunity for qualified students to try to secure meetings with firms outside our region. A number of UT LAW students have been successful in obtaining large firm interviews this way!

If you are interested in interviewing with larger firms and have the GPA to be competitive in this process (typically 3.5 GPA or better), please e-mail Law Career Services and we will send you a handout explaining how to use the list and an excel file containing the "U of M On-Campus Interview List" for Fall 2007.  A resume and cover letter critique in addition to a mock interview will be required.  Please send your e-mail request to "lcs@utoledo.edu".
