I don't know about the MA bar, but any law school graduate can pass the NJ bar. It's not an easy exam, but if your MBE is in the upper 120's and you're good at rote memorization then you can pass.

And take NJ NOW before they make it more difficult with the UBE in February 2017.

Thank you, William! I registered for the NJ July bar.

Do you know the best way to prepare for the NJ essay portion?

Thank you!

Take mbe courses and read all the answer explanations. Pretty much everything on the NJ essay was based on a wrong answer to a Barbri MBE question
