The Pennsylvania module, the fifth state beyond New York, after Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana.
Pennsylvania is the fifth concrete state instantiated from the shared UBE template — the same MBE bank, MEE outlines, MPT workspace, and study-guide library California, Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana shipped with, re-tuned for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners (PBLE) under the Pennsylvania Bar Admission Rules (Pa.B.A.R.).
The single-state purchase matches California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and Illinois 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.

Module pieces
Four pieces, PA overlay.
The Pennsylvania module mirrors the four-piece shape California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and Illinois shipped with — an MBE bank, MEE outlines with a Pennsylvania doctrine overlay, an MPT workspace, and the study-guide library. Each piece is reachable inside the dashboard the moment the access pass unlocks.

Pennsylvania module · FAQ
The six questions Pennsylvania 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 $499 scope, the MPRE 24-month clarification, and the Pa.B.A.R. 203 ABA-accredited JD requirement.
How does the Pennsylvania module differ from a generic UBE prep?
The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds are a single shared UBE catalogue — what the Pennsylvania module adds is the PA-specific overlay: the eligibility pathway under Pa.B.A.R. 203 (JD from an ABA-approved law school), the UBE score transfer pathway within 5 years of the test date (subject to PBLE character & fitness review), MPRE scoring ≥ 80 and the 24-month filing-window requirement (the MPRE must be passed within 24 months of the bar application, with the NCBE-certified score on file before the PBLE approves the application), and the Pennsylvania doctrine the MEE graders are reading for — the Pennsylvania Associations Code at 15 Pa.C.S. in Corporations, the PEF Code at 20 Pa.C.S. in Wills / Trusts / Estates, the Pennsylvania Divorce Code at 23 Pa.C.S. §3301 et seq. and the Child Custody Act at 23 Pa.C.S. §5321 et seq. in Family Law, and Pa.R.C.P. 1141 et seq. plus the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. §250.101 et seq.) in Real Property. The module ships those overlays inline, plus a 10-year C&F disclosure guide and the transfer-window playbook for an out-of-state UBE.
When is the next PA UBE administration?
The Feb 2027 PA UBE is administered on the last Tuesday of February (2027-02-23). The Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners (PBLE) posts the application window roughly four months ahead (early October 2026 for the Feb 2027 cycle); the late-filing fees climb sharply after the priority deadline. The July 2027 cycle follows the same pattern on the last Tuesday of July.
Can I transfer a UBE score into Pennsylvania?
Yes — Pennsylvania accepts a transferred UBE score earned in another UBE jurisdiction within the prior 5 years. A transfer candidate must still satisfy every Pa.B.A.R. requirement, including the 10-year character & fitness disclosure and the MPRE (≥80, NCBE-certified, passed within 24 months of the bar application filing). The PBLE receives the transfer application and reviews it in the same eligibility framework as a sitter.
What does the $499 access pass include?
The MBE bank, the MEE outlines (with PA overlay across the Pennsylvania Associations Code, the PEF Code, the Pennsylvania Divorce Code and Child Custody Act, and Pa.R.C.P. 1141 foreclosure), the MPT workspace with PA libraries, 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 Pennsylvania bundle end-to-end.
What does "MPRE 24" mean for Pennsylvania?
It refers to the 24-month filing window, not a passing score. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam itself is a 60-question, two-hour-and-thirty-minute exam with a scaled score range of 50–150; Pennsylvania requires a scaled score of 80 or higher, NCBE-certified, AND the MPRE must be passed within 24 months of the bar exam application filing. The PBLE requires the MPRE score to be on file before the PBLE approves the application for admission, so plan the MPRE well ahead of the C&F disclosure filing — the day before is too late.
Does Pennsylvania require an ABA-accredited JD?
Yes — under Pa.B.A.R. 203, every applicant must hold a juris doctor from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association at the time of graduation. Unlike Texas, Pennsylvania does not offer a law-office-study (apprenticeship) pathway; the JD is the only academic route. Foreign-trained LLM candidates must also satisfy the Pa.B.A.R. requirements — check with the PBLE before applying.
