The Missouri module, the fifteenth state beyond California, after Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and Alabama.

Missouri is the fifteenth concrete state instantiated from the shared UBE template — the same MBE bank, MEE outlines, MPT workspace, and study-guide library California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and Alabama shipped with, re-tuned for the Supreme Court of Missouri, the Missouri Board of Law Examiners, and Missouri Supreme Court Rule 8 (Admission to the Bar) — Rule 8.01 eligibility (with the Rule 8.04 law-office-study / clerk-reader alternative paired with Rule 8.05 first-year student practice), Rule 8.07 character & fitness + MPRE, Rule 8.08 MCLE, Rule 8.10 UBE transfer window, and the doctrine the MO MEE graders are reading for (Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XII Chapter 351 + Chapter 359 in Corporations, Title XXIX Chapter 474 + 456 in Wills/Trusts/Estates with § 461.025 elective-share — NOT the UPC, Title XXIX Chapter 452 in Domestic Relations, Title XXIX Chapter 442 / § 516.030 / § 443.300+ in Real Property).

The single-state purchase matches California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and Alabama at $499 one-time — a deliberate parity that keeps the per-state cost obvious while the UBE bundle rolls out one state at a time.

Outlines · MEE

MEE essay outlines with MO overlay

The 6 MEE fact patterns, each with a substantive IRAC outline. The Business Associations, Wills/Trusts/Estates, Family Law, and Real Property outlines carry a Missouri-specific overlay: Business Associations reads the Missouri General and Business Corporation Act at Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XII Chapter 351 + the Missouri Limited Liability Company Act at Chapter 359 (NOT BCL/DGCL/Tex. Bus. Org. Code / NCBCA / Ohio Rev. Code Ch. 1701 / C.R.S. Title 7 / Va. Code Title 13.1 / Wash. Rev. Code Title 23B analogues) — the MO overlay flags MO-specific doctrines on director fiduciary duties under § 351.310 (the MO statutory business-judgment-rule framing — distinct from DE’s duty-of-loyalty framing, NC under N.C.G.S. § 55-8-30, WA under RCW 23B.08.300, NJ under N.J.S.A. 14A:6-1, CA under Corp. Code § 309, and CO under C.R.S. § 7-108-401), close-corporation provisions and shareholder agreements under § 351.405 (the MO close-corporation statutory regime, distinct from TX Tex. Bus. Org. Code Chapter 21, NC under N.C.G.S. § 55-10-01, VA under Va. Code § 13.1-661, OH under R.C. 1701.71, CO under C.R.S. § 7-108-301, and AL under Title 10A Chapter 8A), and the appraisal / dissenters’ rights regime under § 351.430 (the MO statutory appraisal remedy the MO Circuit Court reads in probate / business court practice); Wills/Trusts/Estates reads the Missouri Probate Code + Uniform Trust Code framework at Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX — intestate succession under Chapter 474 (the MO-specific intestate framework, distinct from MA / NJ / CO UPC framings and from AL’s § 43-2-1 framework), wills under Chapter 474 (testamentary capacity under § 474.360, will execution under § 474.320, simultaneous-death under § 474.010 — the MO simultaneous-death rule the MO Circuit Court reads in probate practice, parallel in shape to CA Probate Code § 220 and TX Estates Code § 121.052), family-purpose trusts under the § 474.150 et seq. framework, and the Missouri Uniform Trust Code at Chapter 456 (trust administration, trustee duties, the UTC framework distinct from older common-law trust doctrine). CRITICAL: the elective-share sits at Mo. Rev. Stat. § 461.025 (formerly § 474.150) — Missouri is NOT a UPC jurisdiction; the MO graders read § 461.025 specifically, distinct from MA M.G.L. c. 191 § 15, NJ N.J.S.A. 3B:8-1, CO C.R.S. §§ 15-11-201 to 15-11-213 UPC elective-share framings; Family Law reads the Missouri Domestic Relations framework at Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 452 (NOT the Title 30 AL structure or Title 20 VA structure or Title 750 ILCS 5 IL structure) — dissolution under no-fault § 452.305 (the MO irretrievably-broken framework, distinct from AL § 30-2-40(a)(9), NC § 50-6 six-month-separation, OH R.C. 3105.17 incompatible-ground, VA § 20-91(A), and CO § 14-10-106), 90-day residency under § 452.300 (the MO 90-day residency for dissolution — distinct from KS, IL, OH which impose longer or differently framed residency windows), equitable property division under § 452.330 (the MO just-and-equal multi-factor property-division framework, distinct from NJ’s 13-factor list, MA’s M.G.L. c. 208 § 34 framework, NC’s § 50-20 14-factor, OH’s R.C. 3105.171(B) 14-factor, VA’s § 20-107.3(A) factor list, and the TX / WA / AZ community-property characterization regimes the TX / WA / AZ overlays rely on), and child custody under § 452.375 (the MO best-interest-of-the-child standard with the § 452.375 factors the MO Circuit Court reads, parallel in shape to AL § 30-3-151). CRITICALLY: Missouri is a SEPARATE-PROPERTY, common-law equitable-distribution jurisdiction under Title XXIX Chapter 452 (NOT a community-property state like TX / WA / AZ under Tex. Fam. Code § 3.001 / RCW 26.16 / A.R.S. § 25-211) — the MO overlay explicitly flags this because the multistate MEE Family Law fact patterns typically default to common-law equitable-distribution framing and a candidate who transfers the TX / WA / AZ community-property framing into a MO fact pattern will be reading the wrong statute; Real Property reads the Missouri recording act at Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 442 (specifically § 442.370 — the MO notice-race jurisdiction framework, distinct from NJ under N.J.S.A. 46:21-1, WA under RCW 65.08, CO under C.R.S. § 38-35-109 notice-only frameworks, AL § 35-4-90 race-notice, and TX Tex. Property Code § 13.001 race-notice), adverse possession under § 516.030 (the MO 10-year statutory period — distinct from GA’s 20-year under O.C.G.A. § 44-5-160 and OH’s 21-year under R.C. 2305.09, parallel in shape to WA RCW 7.28.080 / CO C.R.S. § 38-41-101 / NC N.C.G.S. § 1-40 / VA Va. Code § 8.01-236 / AZ A.R.S. § 12-526 / AL § 6-5-102), and Missouri NON-JUDICIAL deed-of-trust trustee’s sale foreclosure under § 443.300+ (the MO trustee’s sale non-judicial foreclosure procedure — parallel in shape to TX under Tex. Property Code § 51.002 power-of-sale, WA under RCW 61.24 Trust-Deed-Act non-judicial foreclosure, AZ under A.R.S. § 33-725, and GA under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-160, and distinctly different from NC’s JUDICIAL § 45-21.16 foreclosure, AL’s chancery-court JUDICIAL § 35-10-1 foreclosure, OH’s judicial foreclosure under R.C. 2329, and CO’s C.R.S. § 38-38-101 judicial foreclosure; the MO trustee’s sale practice is what the MO graders watch for). Landlord-Tenant reads at Title XXIX Chapter 441 (the MO landlord-tenant framework).

Ct. Loc. R., St. Louis City under St. Louis City Cir. Ct. Loc. R. — the 22nd Judicial Circuit — St. Louis County under St. Louis County Cir. Ct. Loc. R., Greene County/Springfield, Boone County/Columbia, and Cole County/Jefferson City — each MO Circuit Court locality has distinctive local rules the MO graders watch for); Missouri Court of Appeals briefs under Rule 84 of the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure (Statement of Facts / Argument / Conclusion headings, parallel to the appellate-brief format convention used across UBE pilots); Missouri Supreme Court briefs under Rule 84.17 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Missouri (the MO Supreme Court appellate-brief format the MO Supreme Court reads distinct from the Court of Appeals Rule 84 format); and Missouri Probate Court filings under Title XXIX Chapter 474 with the Chapter 456 Missouri Uniform Trust Code administration framework (probate-court jurisdiction over petitions, accounts, and trust-administration orders — the MO probate court reads Title XXIX, NOT the UPC). The workspace shows the task-model skeleton, the time markers, and an exemplar paragraph-by-paragraph scaffold.

Missouri module · FAQ

The seven questions Missouri candidates ask us.

These are the questions candidates ask before purchase — how the module differs from a generic UBE prep, when the next administration is, the transfer rule, the $499scope, the 266 passing-scaled score floor (the default UBE floor shared with most UBE-adopting jurisdictions, distinct from Georgia’s 270 high-bracket and the lower-tier AL/GA/WI/MN 260 floor), the Rule 8.01 ABA-accredited-JD requirement (with the Rule 8.04 clerk-reader law-office-study alternative paired with Rule 8.05 first-year student practice), and the Rule 8.07 Character & Fitness framework.

How does the Missouri module differ from a generic UBE prep?

The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds are a single shared UBE catalogue — what the Missouri module adds is the MO-specific overlay: the eligibility pathway (JD from an ABA-approved law school under Rule 8.01, with the Rule 8.04 law-office-study / clerk-reader / apprenticeship alternative paired with Rule 8.05 first-year student practice — Missouri maintains a Rule 8.04 clerk-reader admission pathway, parallel in shape to Alabama’s Rule II law-office-study alternative and California’s Rule 4.15 Law-Office / Judge’s Chambers Study alternative; distinct from NY/PA/MA/IL/GA/AZ/CO/WA/OH/NC/VA, most of which require the strict ABA-accredited-JD pathway without an apprenticeship alternative), the UBE score-transfer pathway within 3 years of the test date under Rule 8.10, MPRE scoring ≥ 80 and the NCBE-on-file requirement (the MPRE must be on file with the Missouri Board before admission is approved — the MO 80 MPRE floor is the default-MPRE for most UBE-adopting jurisdictions, parallel to NJ / NC / VA / IL, ABOVE the 75 lower-bracket (AL / GA), and BELOW the 85 high-bracket (WA / OH / MA / NY / CO / TX / AZ)), the 266 passing-scaled UBE score floor (the default UBE floor shared with NY/TX/MA/IL/PA/NJ/WA/OH/NC/VA/CO/AZ — distinct from GA at 270, and ABOVE the lower-tier 260 floor set by AL/WI/MN; a 266 transfers into Missouri without an upgrade), and the Missouri doctrine the MEE graders are reading for — Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XII Chapter 351 (the Missouri General and Business Corporation Act) + Chapter 359 (the Missouri LLC Act) in Corporations, with director fiduciary duties under § 351.310 + close-corporation provisions under § 351.405 + appraisal / dissenters’ rights under § 351.430; Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 474 intestacy + Chapter 474 wills + Chapter 456 Missouri Uniform Trust Code in Wills/Trusts/Estates (with the § 461.025 elective-share framework specifically NOT a UPC framework — CRITICAL distinction, distinct from MA M.G.L. c. 191 § 15 / NJ N.J.S.A. 3B:8-1 / CO C.R.S. §§ 15-11-201 to 15-11-213 UPC elective-share framings); Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 452 Domestic Relations in Family Law (dissolution under § 452.305 irretrievably broken / 90-day residency under § 452.300 / equitable property under § 452.330 / custody under § 452.375 — and CRITICALLY Missouri is SEPARATE-PROPERTY under § 452.330, NOT community property like TX / WA / AZ); Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 442 (the MO recording act, § 442.370 notice-race) + § 516.030 10-year AP + § 443.300+ NON-JUDICIAL deed-of-trust trustee’s sale foreclosure in Real Property. The module ships those overlays inline, plus a 10-year Rule 8.07 C&F disclosure guide (without a voluntary LAP path like WA LAP / NJ LARP / GA GLCP / MA LCL / OH OLAP / NC NCLAP / VA LHL / CO COLAP) and the 3-year transfer-window playbook for an out-of-state UBE.

When is the next MO UBE administration?

The Feb 2027 MO UBE is administered on the last Tuesday of February 2027 (Tue 2027-02-23 / Wed 2027-02-24), the same Feb / July last-Tuesday schedule as the rest of the UBE jurisdictions. The Missouri Board of Law Examiners posts application deadlines and supports the Feb/July UBE cycle shared across most UBE-adopting jurisdictions. The applicant must file the Missouri Board application with the 10-year Rule 8.07 C&F disclosure and the MPRE on file well ahead of the priority filing deadline — late applications are subject to late-filing fees, and the safe path files well inside the priority window. The July 2027 cycle follows the same pattern on the last Tuesday of July (Tue 2027-07-27 / Wed 2027-07-28).

Can I transfer a UBE score into Missouri?

Yes — under Rule 8.10, Missouri accepts a transferred UBE passing-scaled score of 266 or higher (the default UBE floor shared with NY/TX/MA/IL/PA/NJ/WA/OH/NC/VA/CO/AZ) earned in another UBE jurisdiction within the prior 3 years. A transfer candidate must still satisfy every Rule 8.01 / Rule 8.04 / Rule 8.07 / Rule 8.10 requirement, including the 10-year character & fitness disclosure under Rule 8.07, the ABA-accredited-JD requirement under Rule 8.01 (or the Rule 8.04 clerk-reader law-office-study alternative paired with Rule 8.05 first-year student practice), and the MPRE (≥ 80, NCBE-certified, on file before admission). The Missouri Board receives the transfer application and reviews it in the same eligibility framework as a sitter. There is no Missouri waiver of the MPRE, and there is no Missouri waiver of the 266 score floor — but the 266 floor itself is the default UBE floor shared with most UBE-adopting jurisdictions (distinct from Georgia at 270, and above the lower-tier AL/GA/WI/MN 260 floor); a 266 score transfers into Missouri without an upgrade practice.

What does the $499 access pass include?

The MBE bank, the MEE outlines (with MO overlay across Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XII Chapter 351 + Chapter 359 in Corporations, Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 474 intestacy + Chapter 474 wills + Chapter 456 Missouri UTC in Wills/Trusts/Estates including the § 461.025 elective-share overlay — NOT the UPC, Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 452 Domestic Relations in Family Law including the SEPARATE-PROPERTY § 452.330 overlay, and Mo. Rev. Stat. Title XXIX Chapter 442 recording act + § 516.030 10-year AP + § 443.300+ NON-JUDICIAL deed-of-trust trustee’s sale foreclosure in Real Property), the MPT workspace with MO libraries (Missouri Circuit Court civil pleadings under the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure + Jackson County / St. Louis City / St. Louis County / Greene / Boone / Cole local rules, Missouri Court of Appeals briefs under Rule 84, Missouri Supreme Court briefs under Rule 84.17, Missouri Probate Court filings under Title XXIX Chapter 474 + Chapter 456 Missouri UTC administration framework), the full study-guide library, the 90-day paced calendar anchored to a Mon 2026-11-23 start, and AI-graded essay submissions against the MEE rubric. One purchase, no subscription, no second SKU — the $499 access pass unlocks the Missouri bundle end-to-end.

What is the MO passing UBE scaled score?

Missouri uses a UBE passing-scaled score of 266 — the default UBE floor shared with NY, TX, MA, IL, PA, NJ, WA, OH, NC, VA, CO, AZ, and most other UBE-adopting jurisdictions. Georgia stands apart at 270; the lower-tier AL/GA/WI/MN floors sit at 260; Missouri does NOT impose either the higher 270 floor or the lower 260 floor — the MO 266 floor splits the difference and is the same as the rest of the 266 UBE family. The MBE, MEE, and MPT components combine into a single 400-point scaled score; below 266 the candidate must re-sit. The Missouri Board does not impose a state-specific essay component on top of the MEE/UBE scoring; the 266 floor is itself a sufficient condition for MO admission under Rule 8.10, subject to Rule 8.07 C&F and Rule 8.07 MPRE.

Does Missouri require an ABA-accredited JD?

Yes — under Rule 8.01, the primary academic route for Missouri bar admission is a juris doctor from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association at the time of graduation — but Missouri maintains a Rule 8.04 law-office-study / clerk-reader / apprenticeship admission pathway as an alternative. Under Rule 8.04, a candidate may satisfy admission through several years of law office study under the supervision of a licensed Missouri attorney (the clerk-reader / apprenticeship framework, parallel in shape to Alabama’s Rule II two-years-of-law-office-study alternative, California’s Rule 4.15 Law-Office / Judge’s Chambers Study alternative, and the older-state apprenticeship pathways that some UBE-adopting jurisdictions have rolled back; the Missouri Rule 8.04 clerk-reader pathway mirrors Alabama’s Rule II plus California’s Rule 4.15), paired with Rule 8.05 first-year student-practice rules that permit a rising 2L to perform supervised legal work for a lawyer-engaging employer. Missouri does NOT publish an LLM alternative like the CO Rule 201(b) / WA APR 3(c) / AZ Rule 34(g) pathways for foreign-trained lawyers; the JD-from-ABA / Rule 8.04 clerk-reader fork is the complete academic menu, parallel in practice to Alabama.

What is the Missouri Board Character & Fitness (C&F) framework?

The Missouri Board of Law Examiners Character & Fitness framework is administered under Missouri Supreme Court Rule 8.07 (the C&F disclosure framework). A candidate must disclose every civil and criminal matter for the ten (10) years preceding the application — including matters that did not result in conviction, academic misconduct at the law-school stage, and any pending matter the applicant reasonably anticipates. The Missouri Board reads the Rule 8.07 questionnaire strictly and expects applicants to volunteer adverse information even where it would not surface in a routine background check. Late disclosure of an undisclosed matter can extend the timeline substantially; early outreach on a borderline matter is the safe path. Missouri does NOT maintain a separate voluntary LAP disclosure framework (the WA LAP / NJ LARP / GA GLCP / MA LCL / OH OLAP / NC NCLAP / VA LHL / CO COLAP pattern does not exist in Missouri); the Rule 8.07 10-year disclosure is the only path — similar in practice to AL/TX/IL/CA C&F and the standard 10-year disclosure model most UBE-adopting jurisdictions rely on. The Missouri Rule 8.07 C&F review is administered by the Missouri Board of Law Examiners acting under the authority of the Supreme Court of Missouri and Missouri Supreme Court Rule 8 (Admission to the Bar).
