Set to debut in a limited number of US jurisdictions in July 2026, the NextGen UBE tests a broad range of foundational lawyering skills, utilizing a focused set of clearly identified fundamental legal concepts and principles needed in today’s practice of law. Designed to balance the skills and knowledge needed in litigation and transactional legal practice, the exam reflects many of the key changes occurring in legal education, including those in clinical legal education programs, alternative dispute resolution programs, and legal writing and analysis programs. As with the current Uniform Bar Exam, examinees may transfer their NextGen UBE scores between jurisdictions that participate in the UBE portability program.
