The National Conference of Bar Examiners' (NCBE) has released a 'blueprint' for the NextGen Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), outlining its differences from the current format. While this blueprint provides valuable insights, legal educators express concern over the lack of comprehensive sample questions and study materials necessary for proper preparation. The NextGen UBE, set to launch in July 2026, focuses on essential lawyering skills rather than rote memorization. With 41 jurisdictions committed to the new exam format, the transition from the Uniform Bar Examination will occur in 2028, making timely information crucial for prospective bar takers.
The details found in the blueprint are grounded in data we've gathered over thousands of hours of development and pretesting. They are designed to provide clear guidance for educators and candidates preparing for the NextGen exam.
Way more samples are needed. We don't have enough information to do more than speculate about what candidates will need to prepare for this exam.
