Brian passed his MPRE exam with flying colors! The MPRE is the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. There are 125 minutes to complete 60 multiple-choice questions, designed to measure the knowledge and understanding of established standards related to a lawyer's professional conduct. Most states require successful completion of the MPRE, but passing scores differ state to state, and there may be other rules such as when the MPRE is supposed to be taken and so on. If you're wondering, WI doesn't require the MPRE, but they do have a separate ethics portion on their bar exam.
On the job front, Brian is applying for a number of government positions and judicial clerkships. He's got an interview with the Attorney General's office tomorrow, and he's very interested in a separate fellowship with the AG's office doing appellate advocacy work. He "booked" his Advanced Legal Research and Appellate Advocacy classes, so here's for hoping!
