New Hampshire Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE)

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (“MPRE”) is an ethics exam administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (“NCBE”) and not by the state of New Hampshire. The MPRE is administered separately from the New Hampshire bar exam and is generally tested three times each year in March, August, and November.
