One bundle. Four DC-tuned slices.

D.C. is one of the concrete states instantiated from the shared UBE template — California, Texas, New York, Louisiana, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Maryland, Alaska, Wyoming, and now the District of Columbia. The MBE bank, MEE outlines, MPT workspace, and guide library are written; the DC-specific overlay (D.C. App. R. + the four DC gates, the District of Columbia Business Organizations Code at D.C. Code Title 29 — the DC BOC, closer to MBCA with DC-specific variance, with director fiduciary duties at D.C. Code § 29-308, judicial dissolution at D.C.

Stat. § 34-4-101 et seq. non-judicial mortgagee’s power-of-sale foreclosure — a MAJOR DC doctrine flag distinguishing the District’s foreclosure procedure from any power-of-sale non-judicial model) in Real Property is sourced from primary authority; the pacing is wired against the Feb 2027 / July 2027 administrations.

The single-state purchase matches California, Texas, New York, Louisiana, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Maryland, Alaska, 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 DC slices, on one page.

The District of Columbia module consolidates the existing UBE scaffold around the D.C. App. R. gates — Committee on Admissions / D.C. Bar admission, the seven-subject MBE bank, the MEE outlines with the DC doctrine overlay, and the MPT workspace anchored to DC libraries (D.C. Superior Court civil under the D.C. Superior Court Civil Rules — DSCCR, D.C. Superior Court Probate Division filings under D.C. Code Title 18 + D.C. Code Title 19, D.C. Superior Court Family Court domestic-relations filings under D.C. Code Title 16, and the DC appellate system under D.C. App. R. — the two-tier D.C. Superior Court → D.C. Court of Appeals structure; and CRITICAL — the District is a single federal district, with NO counties — a MAJOR DC structure distinction from MD / VA / WY / TN et al., with “Washington, D.C.” as the sole filing venue) — into a single purchase. Each slice links to the live preview surface; same content, gated behind your access window.

Slice 01 · admission rules

D.C. App. R. + the four DC gates

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals (DCCA, the highest court in D.C.) as the admitting court under D.C. App. R. (with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals’ rule-making authority over bar admission — D.C. App. R. is the procedural / substantive framework governing eligibility, UBE transfer, MPRE, character & fitness, and reciprocity); the Committee on Admissions of the District of Columbia Bar (the D.C. Bar — the unified bar integrating with the DCCA — operating under the DCCA’s authority as the operative admissions body); and the District of Columbia Bar membership required to practice in the District. The four DC gates: the JD-from-ABA-accredited-law-school eligibility pathway under D.C. App. R. (no LLM alternative on default, no law-office-study / clerk-reader / apprenticeship alternative like ME Rule 3.5(b) / AL Rule II / CA Rule 4.15 / MO Rule 8.04 — the JD-from-ABA pathway is the complete academic menu); the UBE score transfer pathway at scaled ≥ 266 (the DC-published UBE acceptance floor, the DEFAULT-tier cohort scaled, co-anchored with NC / MO / IA / NJ / IL / IN / VA / NE / MT / MN — significantly BELOW the 270 HIGH-bracket shared with GA / CO / UT / WA / OH / MA / NY / OR / ME / PA / TX / RI / WY) earned in another UBE jurisdiction within 3 years of the test date under D.C. App. R. — CRITICAL — the DCCA 2018 rule change extends the transfer window from 3 years to 5 years for an applicant in active practice in a reciprocal U.S. jurisdiction (a separable DC doctrine flag); the MPRE at scaled ≥ 85, NCBE-certified, filed pre-admission — the HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT / WY (ABOVE the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, ABOVE the 75 LOW-MPRE shared with NJ / AL / GA / OK) — a separable DC doctrine flag distinguishing DC’s MPRE floor from AK / WV / NC / VA; and the Committee on Admissions Character & Fitness review paired with the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct (D.C. RPC, modeled on the ABA Model Rules) — admission requires C&F clearance under published DC factors. The single markdown that has to be right before any DC 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 DC 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 DC-adjacent grader reads for. DC-specific touchstones appear inside the Contracts outline (the District of Columbia Business Organizations Code at D.C. Code Title 29 — the DC BOC, closer to MBCA with DC-specific variance — overlay on director fiduciary duties at D.C. Code § 29-308 and appraisal / dissenters’ rights at D.C. Code § 29-726 where the multistate rule is silent) and inside the Civil Procedure outline (the D.C. Superior Court Civil Rules — DSCCR — analogous to federal FRCP with local variance on pleading, motion, and summary-judgment practice filed before the D.C. Superior Court, the District’s single trial-level venue); the seven MBE subjects are the seven, and the DC doctrine lives in the MEE overlays.

MEE outlines with the DC doctrine overlay

Six MEE fact patterns, each with a substantive IRAC outline. The Business Associations, Wills/Trusts/Estates, Family Law, and Real Property outlines carry a District of Columbia overlay — the DC Business Organizations Code at D.C.

Slice 04 · MPT workspace

MPT workspace anchored to DC libraries

Two 90-minute MPT tasks under a 90-minute budget, with the District of Columbia file/library combinations surfaced first — D.C. Superior Court civil practice under the D.C.

How does the District of Columbia module differ from a generic UBE prep?

The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds are a single shared UBE catalogue.

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

The Feb 2027 DC UBE is administered on Tuesday 2027-02-23 / Wednesday 2027-02-24 — D.C. 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 Committee on Admissions application inside the priority window — the application 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 Committee on Admissions filing windows and can I transfer a UBE score into the District of Columbia?

The Committee on Admissions 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 D.C. App. R. (the District of Columbia Court of Appeals Rules), D.C. accepts a transferred UBE score of 266 or higher (the DC-published UBE acceptance floor, scaled, the DEFAULT-tier cohort co-anchored with NC / MO / IA / NJ / IL / IN / VA / NE / MT / MN — significantly BELOW the 270 HIGH-bracket shared with GA / CO / UT / WA / OH / MA / NY / OR / ME / PA / TX / RI / WY) earned in another UBE jurisdiction within three years of the test date under D.C. App. R. — CRITICAL — the DCCA 2018 rule change extends the transfer window from 3 years to 5 years for an applicant in active practice in a reciprocal U.S. jurisdiction (a separable DC doctrine flag), subject to the Committee on Admissions Character & Fitness review and the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct (D.C. RPC, modeled on the ABA Model Rules). Both February and July administrations are accepted for transfer. A transfer candidate still must satisfy the MPRE (≥ 85, NCBE-certified — the HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT / WY, ABOVE the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE tier shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, ABOVE the 75 LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / AL / GA / OK) before admission — a separable DC doctrine flag distinguishing DC’s MPRE floor from AK / WV / NC / VA — sequence it well ahead of the Committee on Admissions filing window so the score is on file when the application is reviewed.

Does the District of Columbia waive the MPRE?

No. D.C. sets the MPRE floor at scaled ≥ 85 — the HIGH-MPRE tier shared with TN / MA / NY / WA / OH / CO / TX / AZ / UT / WY, ABOVE the 80 DEFAULT-MPRE tier shared with NC / VA / IL / MO / IN / IA / NE / ME / AK / WV, and ABOVE the 75 LOW-MPRE tier shared with NJ / AL / GA / OK — a separable DC doctrine flag distinguishing DC’s MPRE floor from AK / WV / NC / VA. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam is a separate pre-admission requirement — a scaled score of 85 or higher (NCBE-certified) must be on file before admission, independent of the UBE score and the Committee on Admissions Character & Fitness review. The Committee on Admissions does not waive the MPRE under any circumstance; the NCBE score must be on file at the Committee on Admissions before the application is considered.

How is the District of Columbia doctrine overlay sourced?

The District of Columbia Business Organizations Code at D.C. Code Title 29 (the DC BOC — closer to the Model Business Corporation Act with DC-specific variance; director fiduciary duties at D.C. Code § 29-308, judicial dissolution at D.C. Code § 29-412, and appraisal / dissenters’ rights at D.C. Code § 29-726 — the DC framework is a CBA-MBCA hybrid distinctly distinct from DE’s DGCL free-form jurisdiction, from NY BCL, from CA Corp Code, and from the WY WBCA / WV WBCA / OH Ch. 1701 / TX TBOC / CO CBCA / AL MBCA analogues in other pilots — a separable DC doctrine flag on the bar exam) feeds the Business Associations overlay; the District of Columbia wills / trusts / estates framework at D.C.

The overlay is what differentiates a DC sitter on a fact-pattern essay from a candidate trained purely on the multistate rule.
