Required Training for All Bar Applicants and UBE Transfer Score Applicants

This training is part of the process for being admitted to the State Bar of Michigan. It is required by the Michigan Supreme Court (MSC) and the Board of Law Examiners (BLE).*

The training’s six lessons provide a practical introduction to the areas of law that new Michigan lawyers are most likely to encounter in their early years of practice. Taught by experienced Michigan lawyers and judges, the self-paced lessons include engaging video-based guidance and demonstrations.

You must graduate from law school before taking this training. Also, although you do not need to complete the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) before taking the training, you must complete the training in order to receive your official UBE results.

After registering, follow the instructions provided to create your user credentials. Instruction is also provided via e-mail. Access is valid for 60 days.

• Engaging video lessons are taught by experienced Michigan lawyers and judges
