One bundle. Four AL-tuned slices.

Alabama is one of the concrete states instantiated from the shared UBE template — California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Wyoming, and now Alabama. The MBE bank, MEE outlines, MPT workspace, and guide library are written; the AL-specific overlay (Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama — Rule I/II academic menu + ABBE C&F 10-year disclosure + 260 UBE floor under Rule III + 75 MPRE Reg. III — the LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / GA / OK — + Rule VII UBE score transfer + the Alabama doctrine the MEE graders are reading for: Title 10A — the Alabama Business Corporation Act (the ABCA) — in Business Associations, Title 43 (Wills / Trusts / Estates — testamentary capacity, will execution under § 43-1-13, intestacy at § 43-2-1 et seq., and the elective share under § 43-8-70 et seq. — Alabama does NOT cite the UPC; the § 43-8-70 spousal-elector is the citation the AL graders read — distinct from MA\'s M.G.L. c. 191 § 15 elective-share framing, NJ\'s N.J.S.A. 3B:8-1 elective-share framing, and the CO C.R.S. §§ 15-11-201 to 15-11-213 UPC elective-share framing) in Wills/Trusts/Estates, Title 30 (Domestic Relations — dissolution under the no-fault \'irretrievably broken\' framework at § 30-2-40(a)(9) with the 18-month-separation alternative at § 30-2-40(a)(10), AND — CRITICAL — Alabama is a SEPARATE-PROPERTY, common-law equitable-distribution jurisdiction under § 30-2-52, NOT a community-property jurisdiction like TX / WA / AZ, NOT TN\'s separate-property 10-factor framework, NOT MD\'s Marston formula, NOT NC\'s § 50-20 14-factor list, NOT OH\'s R.C. 3105.171 — a MAJOR AL doctrine flag distinguishing the MEE Family Law essay from any community-property or separate-property state — a MAJOR AL doctrine flag), + child custody under the \'best interests of the child\' framework at § 30-3-151 and the AL Child Support Guidelines in Family Law, Title 35 (Real Property — recording under Title 35 Chapter 4 § 35-4-90 race-notice + § 6-5-102 10-year AP + § 35-10-1 chancery-court judicial foreclosure, the AL chancery-court practice is what the AL graders watch for — a procedure flag distinctly different from TX / WA / GA / AZ power-of-sale non-judicial foreclosure under Tex.

The single-state purchase matches California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Wyoming, and the rest of the pilot cohort 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.

What you get

The four AL slices, on one page.

The Alabama module consolidates the existing UBE scaffold around the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama gates — ABBE admission (Rule I/II eligibility, Rule III examination + 260 UBE floor, Rule IV / Reg. III MPRE + CLE, Rule VII UBE transfer window) and the ABBE Character & Fitness 10-year disclosure, the seven-subject MBE bank, the MEE outlines with the AL doctrine overlay (Title 10A, Title 43, Title 30, Title 35), and the MPT workspace anchored to AL libraries (Alabama Circuit Court civil under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure (ARCP), Alabama Probate Court filings under Title 43, Alabama Circuit Court domestic-relations under Title 30, the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals OR Criminal Appeals → Alabama Supreme Court three-tier appellate system) — into a single purchase. Each slice links to the live preview surface; same content, gated behind your access window.

Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama + the four AL gates

The Alabama Supreme Court as the admitting court (the Court administers the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama — Rule I (ABA-accredited-JD eligibility pathway with the Rule II law-office-study / apprenticeship alternative paired with Rule III(a) first-year student practice — Alabama maintains one of the few UBE-adopting clerk-reader / apprenticeship admission pathways alongside the strictly ABA-accredited-JD pathway, distinct from NY / PA / MA / IL / GA / WA / OH / NC / VA / CO), Rule III (examination), Rule III(a) (first-year student practice), Reg. III / Rule IV (MPRE + CLE), Rule VII (UBE transfer window); the Alabama Board of Bar Examiners (ABBE) administering the bar under the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama paired with the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct (the ALRPC, modeled on the ABA Model Rules); the Character & Fitness 10-year disclosure under the ABBE C&F Questionnaire (the strict 10-year disclosure model shared with WA APR 4, OH Gov. Bar R. V, NC N.C.G.S. § 84-24, VA Va. Code § 54.1-3919, CO C.R.A. Rule 204, and not paired with a voluntary LAP disclosure framework like WA LAP / NJ LARP / GA GLCP / MA LCL / OH OLAP / NC NCLAP / VA LHL / CO COLAP — Alabama does NOT maintain a voluntary LAP disclosure path). The four AL gates: the ABA-accredited-JD eligibility pathway under Rule I (with the Rule II law-office-study / apprenticeship alternative paired with Rule III(a) first-year student practice — Alabama is one of the few remaining UBE-adopting jurisdictions that also admits through the clerk-reader / apprenticeship path; distinct from NY / PA / MA / IL / GA / WA / OH / NC / VA / CO, all of which require the strict ABA-accredited-JD pathway without an apprenticeship alternative — a separable AL admission flag); the UBE score transfer pathway at scaled ≥ 260 (the AL-published UBE acceptance floor, scaled) earned in another UBE jurisdiction within 3 years of the test date under Rule VII (Feb and July administrations both accepted); the MPRE at scaled ≥ 75, NCBE-certified, filed pre-admission under Reg. III — the LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / GA / OK, BELOW the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE tier shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, BELOW the 85 HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT — a separable AL doctrine flag distinguishing AL's MPRE floor from NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV; and the ABBE Character & Fitness 10-year disclosure paired with the ALRPC — admission requires C&F clearance under the strict 10-year disclosure model without a voluntary LAP disclosure path. The single markdown that has to be right before any AL sitter writes a single essay.

Slice 02 · MBE bank

Calibrated 7-subject MBE bank

A multistate MBE question bank sized for a 90-day run toward the Feb 2027 AL administration — seven subjects (Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law & Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, Torts) tagged by topic and weighted to current NCBE scoring distributions. Civ Pro harder, Evidence and Contracts stable — the same weighting the AL-adjacent grader reads for. AL-specific touchstones appear inside the Contracts outline (the Alabama Business Corporation Act at Title 10A — overlay on close-corporation statutory regime at Title 10A, Chapter 8A — 10A-8A-1.01 et seq., director fiduciary duties under the AL statutory business-judgment-rule framing at Title 10A, and the appraisal / dissenters' rights regime at Title 10A, Chapter 10A — 10A-10A-1.01 et seq. — where the multistate rule is silent) and inside the Civil Procedure outline (the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure — ARCP — analogous to federal FRCP with state variance on pleading, motion, and summary-judgment practice); the seven MBE subjects are the seven, and the AL doctrine lives in the MEE overlays.

MPT workspace anchored to AL libraries

Two 90-minute MPT tasks under a 90-minute budget, with the Alabama file/library combinations surfaced first — Alabama Circuit Court civil practice under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure (ARCP, analogous to federal FRCP with state variance on pleading, motion, and summary-judgment practice) and local standing orders from AL's five most populated Circuit Court locations (Jefferson County — Birmingham, Montgomery County — Montgomery, Madison County — Huntsville, Mobile County — Mobile, Tuscaloosa County — Tuscaloosa) governing pretrial scheduling across AL's largest jurisdictions (distinct from TN's Davidson / Shelby / Knox Chancery Standing Orders, from MD's Baltimore City / Montgomery / Prince George's / Baltimore County / Anne Arundel, from AK's Anchorage / Fairbanks / Juneau / Wasilla / Ketchikan, from CO's Denver / El Paso / Boulder, from WV's Kanawha / Berkeley / Monongalia / Cabell / Raleigh); Alabama Supreme Court briefs under Rule 28 of the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure (Statement of Facts / Argument / Conclusion headings — the AL appellate system is Circuit Court → Alabama Court of Civil Appeals OR Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals → Alabama Supreme Court, a THREE-TIER structure distinct from MD's three-tier Circuit → Court of Special Appeals → Court of Appeals and WY's TWO-TIER District Court → Wyoming Supreme Court — with brief format governed separately from FRAP / Md.

How does the Alabama module differ from a generic UBE prep?

The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds are a single shared UBE catalogue. What the Alabama module adds is the AL-specific overlay: the four AL gates (UBE score transfer at scaled ≥ 260 within 3 years of test date under Rule VII — one of the LOWEST among UBE-adopting jurisdictions, parallel to WI / MN's 260 lower-tier floors, lower than the default 266 floor shared by NY / TX / MA / IL / PA / NJ / WA / OH / NC / VA / CO and significantly lower than GA's 270 floor; the MPRE at scaled ≥ 75 NCBE-certified filed pre-admission under Reg.

When is the next AL UBE administration and how does the calendar anchor to it?

The Feb 2027 AL UBE is administered on Tuesday 2027-02-23 / Wednesday 2027-02-24 — Alabama administers the NCBE standard UBE dates (last Tuesday/Wednesday of February and July). The 90-day plan starts Monday 2026-11-23 for the Feb 2027 sitting, and regenerates from your purchase date. The July 2027 cycle follows on Tuesday 2027-07-27 / Wednesday 2027-07-28. Plan to file the ABBE application inside the priority window — the ABBE window typically opens roughly four months before the sitting and the priority deadline closes ~60-75 days ahead, with a sharply higher late-filing fee after that.

What are the ABBE filing windows and can I transfer a UBE score into Alabama?

The ABBE posts a priority filing window for each administration, typically opening roughly four months before the sitting and closing 60-75 days ahead. Late-filing fees apply after the priority deadline — the safe path files inside that window. Under the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Alabama (Rule VII), Alabama accepts a transferred UBE score of 260 or higher (the AL-published UBE acceptance floor, scaled — one of the LOWEST among UBE-adopting jurisdictions, parallel to WI / MN's 260 lower-tier floors, lower than the default 266 floor shared by NY / TX / MA / IL / PA / NJ / WA / OH / NC / VA / CO and significantly lower than GA's 270 floor) earned in another UBE jurisdiction within three years of the test date — subject to the ABBE Character & Fitness 10-year disclosure paired with the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct (the ALRPC, modeled on the ABA Model Rules). Both February and July administrations are accepted for transfer. A transfer candidate still must satisfy the MPRE (≥ 75, NCBE-certified, the LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / GA / OK, BELOW the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE tier shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, BELOW the 85 HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT — a separable AL doctrine flag distinguishing AL's MPRE floor from NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV) before admission — sequence it well ahead of the ABBE filing window so the score is on file when the application is reviewed.

Does Alabama waive the MPRE?

No. Alabama sets the MPRE floor at scaled ≥ 75 under Reg. III — the LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / GA / OK, BELOW the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE tier shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, and BELOW the 85 HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT — a separable AL doctrine flag distinguishing AL's MPRE floor from NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam is a separate pre-admission requirement — a scaled score of 75 or higher (NCBE-certified) must be on file before admission, independent of the UBE score and the ABBE Character & Fitness 10-year disclosure. There is no AL-specific waiver; the NCBE score must be on file at the ABBE before the application is considered.

How is the Alabama doctrine overlay sourced?

Title 10A (the ABCA — the LLC Act overlay paired with the close-corporation statutory regime at Title 10A, Chapter 8A — 10A-8A-1.01 et seq., distinct from TX's TBOC Chapter 21, NC's N.C.G.S. § 55-10-01, VA's Va. Code § 13.1-661, OH's R.C. 1701.71, CO's C.R.S. § 7-108-301 — a separable AL doctrine flag, and the appraisal / dissenters' rights regime at Title 10A, Chapter 10A — 10A-10A-1.01 et seq., the AL Circuit Court probate / business court read in AL business-judgment-rule practice — distinct from DE's Chancery appraisal framing, NC's N.C.G.S. § 55-8-30, WA's RCW 23B.08.300, NJ's N.J.S.A. 14A:6-1, CO's C.R.S. § 7-108-401, and director fiduciary duties under the AL statutory business-judgment-rule framing at Title 10A — a separable AL doctrine flag on the bar exam) feeds the Business Associations overlay; Title 43 (Wills / Trusts / Estates — testamentary capacity, will execution under § 43-1-13 (the AL two-witness attestation rule), intestacy at § 43-2-1 et seq., and the elective share under § 43-8-70 et seq. (the AL spousal-protection doctrine — Alabama does NOT cite the UPC, the § 43-8-70 spousal-elector is the citation the AL graders read — distinct from MA's M.G.L. c. 191 § 15, NJ's N.J.S.A. 3B:8-1, CO's C.R.S. §§ 15-11-201 to 15-11-213 UPC elective-share framings — a separable AL citation on the bar exam)) feeds the Wills/Trusts/Estates overlay; Title 30 (Domestic Relations / Family Law — dissolution under the no-fault 'irretrievably broken' framework at § 30-2-40(a)(9) with the 18-month-separation alternative at § 30-2-40(a)(10), AND — CRITICAL — Alabama is a SEPARATE-PROPERTY, common-law equitable-distribution jurisdiction under § 30-2-52 (NOT a community-property jurisdiction like TX / WA / AZ under Tex. Fam. Code § 3.001 / RCW 26.16 / A.R.S. § 25-211; NOT TN's T.C.A. § 36-4-121 SEPARATE-PROPERTY 10-factor framework; NOT MD's Marston formula; NOT NC's § 50-20 14-factor list; NOT OH's R.C. 3105.171 — a MAJOR AL doctrine flag distinguishing the MEE Family Law essay from any community-property or separate-property state), with child custody under the 'best interests of the child' framework at § 30-3-151 (the AL best-interest factors), and the AL Child Support Guidelines) feeds Family Law; Title 35 (Real Property — recording under Title 35 Chapter 4 (§ 35-4-90 et seq., the AL race-notice jurisdiction — parallel to TX's race-notice under Tex. Property Code § 13.001, distinct from NJ's N.J.S.A. 46:21-1 / WA's RCW 65.08 / CO's C.R.S. § 38-35-109 notice-only framings), adverse possession under § 6-5-102 (the AL 10-year statutory period, parallel to WA / CO / NC / VA — SHORTER than TN's 30-year and MD's 20-year — a separable AL doctrine flag), and judicial chancery-court mortgage foreclosure under § 35-10-1 et seq. (the AL chancery-court judicial-foreclosure procedure — distinctly different from TX / WA / GA / AZ power-of-sale non-judicial foreclosure under Tex. Property Code § 51.002 / RCW 61.24 / O.C.G.A. § 44-14-160 / A.R.S. § 33-725 and from CO's C.R.S. § 38-38-101 judicial foreclosure, the AL chancery-court practice is what the AL graders watch for — a procedure flag)) feeds Real Property. The Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure (ARCP) + Jefferson County / Birmingham, Montgomery County / Montgomery, Madison County / Huntsville, Mobile County / Mobile, Tuscaloosa County / Tuscaloosa Circuit Court local standing orders + Rule 28 Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure briefs (the THREE-TIER Circuit Court → Alabama Court of Civil Appeals OR Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals → Alabama Supreme Court appellate system — distinct from MD's three-tier Circuit → Court of Special Appeals → Court of Appeals and WY's two-tier District Court → Wyoming Supreme Court) + Alabama Probate Court filings under Title 43 + Title 30 Alabama Circuit Court domestic-relations (heard concurrent with divorce) feed the MPT libraries. The overlay is what differentiates an AL sitter on a fact-pattern essay from a candidate trained purely on the multistate rule.
