Built for Louisiana — not a UBE bootcamp.
01 · questions only LSBA examiners ask
Civilian-only essay + MC pool.
La. C.C. arts. 2317.1 / 2324(B)(b) / 1839, La. C.C.P. arts. 74 / 1031, the LA Constitution 1974, and LA-specific code stack — the Louisiana State Bar Association exam asks what the UBE never does.
02 · essay patterns LA graders reward
Cite Civil Code art. first, doctrine second.
Civilian register: La. C.C. art. X with the doctrinal reading applied SECOND, not first. Multistate grads cite Restatement then common-law doctrine; LA grads invert that order, and the rubric penalises the multistate instinct.
03 · AI grading calibrated to LA scoring
Civilian-axis rubric.
Issue-spotting under civilian source-ownership · Civil Code citation form · civilian-vs-common-law triage analysis · per-issue conclusion — scored on the same axes the Committee on Bar Admissions readers use.
04 · paced calendar dedicated to LA
90-day schedule anchored to LA-only topics.
LA Bar Exam (once a year in July, plus the Feb Louisiana-only essay option); per-week block cadence sized for working and repeat candidates, with the civilian-vs-common-law triage weeks called out by week.
Louisiana bar prep, in three frames — wrought-iron balconies and shuttered windows of a french quarter courthouse facade; a quiet law library with green-shaded reading lamps and rows of bound legal volumes; and a study desk for the late-afternoon run.
Louisiana module · buyer FAQ
The five questions Louisiana buyers ask before the $499 click.
Buyer-objection Q&A anchored to Louisiana’s three required topics — civil-law jurisdiction, the LEE essay scoring scale, and the UBE-vs-state-specific track — plus pricing parity and the free preview at /louisiana.
Why is Louisiana a civil-law jurisdiction, and how does that actually change what I study?
Louisiana is the only U.S. state whose private law derives from the civil-law tradition — the Louisiana Civil Code (La. C.C.) + the Code of Civil Procedure (La. C.C.P.) sit on top, with comparative civilian sources underneath the source-ordering rules. The Civil Code books on Obligations, Property, Sales, and Successions are the four subject frames the Day 1 essay graders read for in the civilian register; Federal Jurisdiction appears as a separate one-hour essay on Day 1; the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct (state-specific, ABA Model Rules parity) appear as a separate one-hour essay under Supreme Court of Louisiana Rule XVIII. Compare to common-law neighbors TX, MS, and FL: Louisiana answers cite Civil Code articles and C.C.P. articles by number, not Restatement sections or common-law case names.
How does the Louisiana essay scoring scale work, and how is it different from CA / FL?
Louisiana essays are scored on a 1–6 anchored scale administered under the Louisiana Essay Examination (LEE) rubric, but the application differs from CA and FL. The Louisiana Bar Examination Day 1 is nine one-hour essays under the LEE — six pure civil-law essays and three mixed subjects (Federal Jurisdiction, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law) — every essay graded by a LEE-calibrated panel keyed to La. C.C. art. 1839 (conventional obligations), art. 2317.1 (neighbor liability / strict liability), and art. 2324(B)(b) (solidary liability among tortfeasors) where those articles sit on the prompt. CA’s 1–6 is calibrated to the State Bar of California meter on the 11 essay topics; FL’s essay blend is scaled 70%+ on a non-civilian fact-pattern register. The module’s writing drill is calibrated against the LEE rubric so each Louisiana essay targets the LEE-evidenced 4–6 band, not the multistate.
Can I transfer a UBE score into Louisiana — or do I have to sit the full LA bar?
Louisiana is NOT a full Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) jurisdiction. Day 1 is nine state-specific civil-code essays — NOT the MEE — and Day 2 is the 200-question MBE + the Louisiana Multistate Performance Test. A UBE transfer score from another jurisdiction (NCBE’s portable 266/270 band) does NOT convert to Louisiana admission — candidates must sit the full Louisiana Bar Examination regardless of a previously earned UBE score. UBE study material does not transfer either: every LA essay answer names a La. C.C. article (e.g., art. 1839, art. 2315, art. 2324) and every procedural answer cites a La. C.C.P. article (e.g., arts. 74 + 1031). The module writes every exercise to that source-order.
How does the price match the rest of the modules?
The Louisiana module ships at the same $499 one-time pricing as California and Florida — one barcode, one price, one access window. No separate essay SKU; the bundle is the slice. Pricing is sourced from the deployed StateModule row, so the live amount follows the same authoritative source.
Is there still a free preview at /louisiana?
Yes — /louisiana remains the public preview, with the same six-piece nav cards, the FAQ, and the waitlist. /module/louisiana is the purchase surface: the four civil-law slices consolidated on one page with the buy CTA at the top, the NextGen Bar shifts overlay, and FAQ access.
Is there a free Louisiana MBE preview?
Yes — the free Louisiana MBE preview at /free-mbe/louisiana stages five LA-tuned MBE questions drawn from the production bank. Enter your email to unlock the topic-weighted score and the per-subject breakdown; the answers are stripped from the listing so the practice is honest. The same preview is mirrored at the generic /free-mbe question — the per-state variant adds the LA overlay (Civil Code, C.C.P., and the civilian-register signal that the MCQ bank is curated to).
One bundle. Four civil-law slices.
Louisiana is the only civil-law U.S. jurisdiction, and the Louisiana module is written for that. The Civil Code–rooted essay outline, the LA-tuned MBE + essay drill slice, the 3-month strategy with a 13-week calendar, and the MPT template anchored to Louisiana authorities — unbundled nowhere else.
The Louisiana module ships at the same $499 one-time pricing as the California and Florida modules. After Stripe confirms your purchase, access opens online and stays live until your window closes — instant, no shipment, no handoff.
Want to read the free preview first? /louisiana keeps the public six-piece preview live alongside the waitlist, the same as the California page.

Louisiana State Bar Association · admission
What every Louisiana candidate has to clear before sitting.
The four UBE-shaped facts every Louisiana candidate needs — sourced to the Louisiana State Bar Association Committee on Bar Admissions and the Supreme Court of Louisiana rules. This is the statutory ground the module is written on top of, not a marketing pitch.
01 · administrator
Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA)
Bar admission is administered by the Louisiana State Bar Association under Article I, §9 of the Louisiana Constitution and Supreme Court of Louisiana Rule XVIII. The LSBA Committee on Bar Admissions processes applications and assigns bar-exam seating.
02 · eligibility
JD + the Civil Law workshop for foreign-trained
A juris doctor from an ABA-approved law school — or an approved-diocesan program (LOYOLA) — is required. Foreign-trained applicants complete the Louisiana Civil Law Workshop under LSBA Rules, Art. XIV.
03 · the bar exam
Two-day Louisiana Bar Examination
Day 1: nine one-hour essay questions on Louisiana civil law — Code of Civil Procedure, the Civil Code books on Obligations, Property, Sales, Successions, plus Torts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Contracts, Evidence, and Federal Jurisdiction. Day 2: the MBE and the Louisiana Multistate Performance Test component.
04 · MPRE + MCLE
MPRE scaled ≥ 75 + 12.5 hr MCLE per year
The MPRE scaled ≥ 75 within 24 months of bar application filing (LSBA Rules, Art. XVI). Post-admission MCLE is 12.5 hours per year including 1 hour ethics and 1 hour professionalism, beginning the reporting year after admission.
NextGen Bar shifts
What the NextGen rollout does to the LA bar you’re studying for.
NCBE’s revised bar exam — the “NextGen” rollout — reweights Day 2 AM MBE blocks toward integrated cross-disciplinary scenarios, tightens the Day 1 PM essay fact patterns where LA adopts the revised MEE format, and recalibrates the LA MPT drafting workload around La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 file/libraries. Louisiana — the only civil-law U.S. jurisdiction — overlays a steady Civil-Code frame on top: the two-day nine-essay + MBE + MPT posture, the La. C.C. + La. C.C.P. + La. R.S. + La. Const. + Rule XVIII source ordering, the four Civil Code essay anchors (Obligations, Property, Sales, Successions), the Civil Code Torts under arts. 2315–2324 + LPLA + art. 2324(B)(b), the LSBA Civil Law Workshop for foreign-trained applicants under Art. XIV, and the 12.5 hr/year MCLE + MPRE ≥ 75 rule. Below is the per-topic shift list as it lands when NextGen rolls into Louisiana’s administration. Pending LSBA adoption.
What stays
The LA-specific overlay doesn’t shift.
- The two-day Louisiana Bar Examination: Day 1 = nine one-hour civil-law essays on the Civil Code books + Code of Civil Procedure + Torts / Constitutional / Criminal / Contracts / Evidence / Federal Jurisdiction; Day 2 = the MBE and the Louisiana Multistate Performance Test component.
- Civilian source-of-law ordering — La. C.C. arts., La. C.C.P. arts., La. R.S., La. Const., and Supreme Court of Louisiana Rule XVIII — common-law reasoning only where the statutes are silent; NCBE weight shifts cannot erase the civilian register.
- LSBA Committee on Bar Admissions pathway: an ABA-approved JD (or an LOYOLA-approved-diocesan program); foreign-trained applicants complete the Louisiana Civil Law Workshop under LSBA Rules, Art. XIV.
- MPRE scaled ≥ 75 within 24 months of bar application filing (LSBA Rules, Art. XVI) and post-admission CLE of 12.5 hr/year incl. 1 hr ethics + 1 hr professionalism — unchanged regardless of NCBE reweighting.
- The four civil-law essay anchors — La. C.C. Obligations (Book III, arts. 1986+), Property (Book II, arts. 463+), Sales (Book IV, arts. 2438+), and Successions (Book V, arts. 1600+) — stay the Day 1 PM essay testing surface; NCBE requires subjects to align with multistate, but La. Civil-Code books stay the Day 1 essay anchors.
- Louisiana Civil Code Torts under arts. 2315–2324 + LPLA — including La. C.C. art. 2324(B)(b) solidary liability, LPLA brutality (no comparative fault), and the comparative-fault overlay elsewhere — stay the testing surface.
What changes
Where NCBE reweights, the LA bar adapts.
- Day 2 AM MBE reweights toward integrated, cross-disciplinary scenario sets — single-issue Civ Pro or one-rule Evidence stems give up weight to multi-issue integrated fact patterns (Civ Pro + Evidence stacking onto PR or Criminal fact patterns).
- The Day 1 PM essay block recalibrates around the NCBE revised MEE format where LA adopts it: tighter fact patterns, sharper issue-spotting, less surface area for rule-recall essays.
- The Louisiana Multistate Performance Test component recalibrates drafting workload — the 90-minute workspace stretches and the La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 file/library combinations rebalance toward longer objective memo + brief tasks.
- Civil Procedure and Evidence move up under NextGen weight, while Real Property, Torts, and Contracts see a lighter slice of the MBE.
- Professional Responsibility becomes the connective tissue across MBE subjects — ABA Model Rules apply here, since LA does not overlay a state-specific PR code on the MBE.
- Civilian overlay: civil-law essays on common-law subjects (e.g. Criminal Law under the La. Const. art. I § 9 due-process register) are the moveable point — NCBE weight shifts cannot erase the La. C.C. registration of source authority, but the essay surface adapts.
The shift list above tracks the editorial read of the NextGen rollout as it applies to Louisiana's two-day administration.

Topic shifts
Per-topic shifts when NextGen rolls into LA.
Each card lists the shift direction, the exam bucket it lands in, and a study material CTA where one exists. New buckets with no study material yet route to /pricing for the access pass.
Civ Pro picks up share of the Day 2 AM MBE block as NextGen-weighted scoring pulls more stems into the integrated scenario bucket, with La. C.C.P. as the LA-side overlay.
NCBE reweighting makes Civ Pro the second-heaviest subject after Evidence on the integrated side. La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 jurisdiction/venue, pleading, summary judgment, and preclusion now show up inside multi-issue MBE fact patterns more often than as a stand-alone stem.
Evidence carries the heaviest single-subject MBE count under NextGen, and La. C.C.P. Book V evidence provisions sit adjacent to more integrated scenarios.
Evidence scores heaviest on the reweighted distribution. The integrated scenarios stack Evidence onto Civ Pro, PR, and Criminal fact patterns every cycle; LA applies C.C.P. Book V where the federal rules diverge on hearsay, business records, and residual exceptions.
PR is now the connective tissue — the ABA Model Rules surface inside MBE stems on conflicts, confidentiality, communication, and fees.
NextGen emphasis on cross-disciplinary scenarios pushes PR onto the MBE block in addition to the Day 1 PM essay. LA does not overlay a state-specific PR code on the MBE — ABA Model Rules apply — and LSBA Rules Art. XVI keeps the MPRE separate-certification rule at scaled ≥ 75.
A dedicated cross-disciplinary bucket lands under NextGen — multi-subject fact patterns that stack C.C.P. + Evidence + PR + Civilian source authority.
LA's two-day posture adapts to the new NCBE format. The bucket is new across the seven MBE subjects; study material ships with the access pass rollout and the existing LA-tuned MBE bank + civil-law guides cover the constituent subjects today.
Real Property stays in scope but its MBE weight drops under NextGen — fewer questions, deeper coverage including La. C.C. arts. 463+ property rights and C.C.P. recordation.
Lighter against Civ Pro and Evidence on Day 2 AM. Still tested; La. C.C. Book II (Property, arts. 463+) and the La. C.C.P. recordation statutes stay the LA-side overlay wherever Property stems surface on the essay side.
Torts sees fewer stand-alone stems under NextGen — the rule still applies inside integrated scenarios more than as a primary subject, anchored to arts. 2315–2324.
Lighter MBE share. La. C.C. arts. 2315–2324 + LPLA + art. 2324(B)(b) solidary liability stay the Day 1 PM essay anchor; comparative-fault overlay and the LPLA brutality carve-out continue to drive essay answers wherever Torts surfaces.
Contracts sees a smaller Day 2 AM MBE block — La. C.C. Book IV (Sales, arts. 2438+) and the civilian Obligations register stay the Day 1 PM essay moveable points.
Lighter MBE weight under NextGen, unchanged on the Day 1 PM essay side. La. C.C. Book III (Obligations) and Book IV (Sales) — not UCC Article 2 — govern the LA essay register; moveable points are civilian contract formation, lesion, and redhibition.
La. C.C. Obligations (Book III, arts. 1986+) stays a steady Day 1 PM slot — the civilian obligations register is the LA-specific essay anchor.
Conventional, delictual, and quasi-delictual obligations under La. C.C. arts. 1986+ are the LA-side anchors for any Torts + Contracts essay stem. NCBE weight shifts cannot compress Book III; the LA grader is reading for the civilian register.
La. C.C. Property (Book II, arts. 463+) stays a steady Day 1 PM slot — ownership, accession, and the civilian property rights register.
La. C.C. arts. 463+ on ownership, possession, accession, and the La. C.C. §1 property framework are LA-only essay anchors. NCBE weight shifts cannot compress Book II; the LA grader reads the civilian citation layer.
La. C.C. Sales (Book IV, arts. 2438+) and Successions (Book V, arts. 1600+) stay steady Day 1 PM slots — the civilian testaments and redhibition register.
Book IV covers redhibition, lesion, and the civilian sale-of-goods regime; Book V governs testaments, legitime, and forced heirship under La. C.C. arts. 1600+. NCBE weight shifts cannot compress either; the LA grader reads the civilian citation layer.
Constitutional Law weight on the Day 2 AM MBE is unchanged — the federal overlay stays the rule, with La. Const. art. I § 9 due-process register on the essay side.
Equal protection, due process, dormant Commerce Clause, and LA-specific takings / ballot-access overlays remain stable. Volume contracts slightly under NextGen; difficulty stays the same.
Criminal Law and 4th / 5th / 6th / 14th amendment doctrine stay at the same weight, with La. C.Cr.P. + La. Const. art. I § 9 due-process overlay intact.
Mens rea, the homicide ladder, inchoate crimes, plus La. C.Cr.P. procedure and the La. Const. art. I § 9 due-process register stay on the same weight slot. LA-specific overlays continue to determine Day 1 PM essay answers where they bite.
LA MPT drafting is stable — La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 jurisdiction/venue file-and-library combinations stay the working set.
The 90-minute MPT task-model skeleton stays anchored to La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 plus La. C.C. art. 1839, art. 2317.1, and art. 2324(B)(b). The drafting workload calibrates; the LA file-and-library set does not shift.
Federal Jurisdiction overlay is steady — diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 sits on top of the civilian La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 register.
LA candidates read the federal-jurisdiction fact pattern with the La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 jurisdiction/venue register layered on top. NCBE weight shifts cannot erase the civilian registry of source authority on the essay side.

Louisiana module · FAQ
The four questions buyers ask before purchasing.
These are the questions Louisiana candidates ask before pulling the trigger. The first two are about scope; the second two are about mechanics.
What does the Louisiana module include?
Four slices — a Civil Code–rooted essay outline, the LA-tuned MBE bank paired with an essay-prompt academic-content list, a 3-month strategy with a 13-week calendar, and an MPT template anchored to Louisiana authorities — plus the five-guide library. The purchase unlocks every slice for the duration of your access window.
Why is Louisiana structured differently from California?
Louisiana is the only civil-law U.S. jurisdiction. Its bar exam sources private-law questions from the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure rather than from common-law judges. The module matches that: every MBE overlay points to a Civil Code article, every essay example names the civilian source, and the MPT skeletons round La. C.C. art. 1839 / 2317.1 / 2324(B)(b) and La. C.C.P. arts. 74 + 1031 instead of the multistate equivalents.
How does the price match the rest of the modules?
The Louisiana module ships at the same $499 one-time pricing as California and Florida — one barcode, one price, one access window. No separate essay SKU; the bundle is the slice. Pricing is sourced from the deployed StateModule row, so the live amount follows the same authoritative source.
Is there still a free preview at /louisiana?
Yes — /louisiana remains the public preview, with the same six-piece nav cards, the FAQ, and the waitlist. /module/louisiana is the CA-shaped purchase surface: the four slices consolidated on one page with the buy CTA at the top.
Will the NextGen bar exam change what Louisiana candidates study?
NCBE’s NextGen rollout reweights Day 2 AM MBE blocks toward integrated cross-disciplinary scenarios and tightens the Day 1 PM essay fact pattern where LA adopts the revised MEE format, but Louisiana's Civil-Code frame stays put — the La. C.C. + La. C.C.P. + La. R.S. + La. Const. + Supreme Court of Louisiana Rule XVIII source ordering, the four Civil Code essay anchors (Obligations, Property, Sales, Successions), and the Civil Code Torts under arts. 2315–2324 + LPLA + art. 2324(B)(b) stay the testing surface. See the NextGen shifts overlay below for the per-topic deltas.
