The MPRE is a standardized ethics test administered through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
All applicants (On Motion, UBE Score Transfer and Exam) must successfully complete the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) with a minimum scaled score of 85.
Exam applicants, see also C.R.C.P. 203.4(5).
On Motion applicants, see C.R.C.P. 203.2(5).
UBE Score Transfer applicants, see also C.R.C.P. 203.3(3).
The MPRE may be taken either before or after you file an application for admission in Colorado; however, you should register for the next scheduled MPRE as soon as possible after filing an application. Final approval for admission to practice law in this state will be held in abeyance until valid MPRE scores have been received from the National Conference of Bar Examiners and verified by the Office of Attorney Admissions. See C.R.C.P. 211.3(1) and (2) regarding time limits for taking the oath of admission.
Passing MPRE scores are valid if achieved at an exam taken no more than two years prior to filing an application for admission in Colorado.
