The North Dakota module, the thirty-first state from the shared UBE template.
North Dakota is the thirty-first state instantiated from the shared UBE template — the same MBE bank, ND essay outlines, MPT workspace, and study-guide library, re-tuned for the North Dakota Supreme Court, the NDBLE under Rule 4 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, and the Feb 2027 administration.
The single-state purchase matches California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the other launched pilots 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.

Module pieces
Four pieces, ND overlay.
The North Dakota module mirrors the four-piece shape Vermont and the other launched states shipped with — an MBE bank, MEE outlines with a N.D.C.C. doctrine overlay, an MPT workspace, and the study-guide library. Each piece is reachable inside the dashboard the moment the access pass unlocks.

North Dakota module · FAQ
The four questions ND candidates ask us.
These are the questions candidates ask before purchase — how the module differs from a generic UBE prep (locally-administered ND bar examination ≠ UBE), when the next administration is (Feb 2027), the UBE non-transfer rule (ND does NOT accept a UBE score), and what the $499 covers.
How does the North Dakota module differ from a generic UBE prep?
The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds share the universal multistate catalogue — what the North Dakota module adds is the NDBLE / N.D.C.C. / NDRCPC / N.D.R.E. / NDRPC overlay: the locally-administered ND bar examination under Rule 4 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of North Dakota (the MBE + ND essay + MPT, scored on a state-specific scale — NOT the UBE and NOT UBE-score-transferrable into ND), the eligibility pathway under Rule 4 (JD from an ABA-approved law school — ND maintains NO law-office-study / clerk-reader alternative like ME Rule 3.5(b) / AL Rule II / MO Rule 8.04 / CA Rule 4.15, NO LLM alternative like CO Rule 201(b) / WA APR 3(c) / AZ Rule 34(g)), the MPRE (≥85) as a pre-admission prerequisite (HIGH-MPRE tier shared with NH/WA/OH/MA/NY/CO/TX/AZ/UT, ABOVE the 80 DEFAULT-tier shared with NJ/NC/VA/IL/MO/IN/IA/NE/ME), and the N.D.C.C. doctrine the ND essay graders are reading for — N.D.C.C. Title 10-19.1 (ND Business Corporation Act, RMBCA-based) in Corporations, N.D.C.C. Title 30.1 (ND UPC framework) with § 30.1-04-04 elective-share in Wills, N.D.C.C. Title 14 (ND Family Law — SEPARATE-property factor list at § 14-05-24 + best-interest parenting at § 14-09-30; NOT community-property like TX/WA/AZ/NM/LA/WI/ID) in Family Law, and N.D.C.C. Title 47 (Property) + N.D.C.C. Chapter 32-20 mortgage foreclosure by advertisement in Real Property. The module ships those overlays inline, plus a C&F disclosure guide under Rule 4 (NO separate ND LAP framework — the NDBLE reads C&F directly, parallel to ND / VT / Iowa Court Rule 31.9 / SCACR Rule 403).
When is the next ND bar administration?
The Feb 2027 ND bar administration is on 2027-02-23 (Tue) / 2027-02-24 (Wed). The NDBLE posts the application window about four months ahead (early October 2026 for the Feb 2027 cycle) and the late-filing fees climb sharply after the priority deadline (~60 days ahead). The July 2027 cycle follows on 2027-07-27 / 2027-07-28. ND applicants must sit the locally-administered ND bar examination (NOT the UBE) — the MBE + ND essay + MPT, scored on a state-specific scale set by the NDBLE under Rule 4 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of North Dakota.
Can a UBE score transfer into North Dakota?
No. North Dakota does NOT administer the Uniform Bar Examination and does NOT accept a transferred UBE score. ND applicants must sit the locally-administered ND bar examination (MBE + ND essay + MPT, scored on a state-specific scale at the NDBLE under Rule 4). A candidate who earned a UBE passing-scaled score of 270 in another UBE jurisdiction CANNOT transfer that UBE score into ND; the NDBLE requires the locally-administered ND bar exam regardless of any UBE history. This sets ND apart from every UBE-adopting state (NY 266 / TX 270 / MA 270 / IL 266 / PA 270 / NJ 266 / WA 270 / OH 270 / NC 266 / VA 266 / CO 266 / AL 260 / MO 266 / IA 266 / IN 264 / NE 266 / UT 270 / MT 266 / MN 260 / NH 270 / ME 270 / OK 264 / OR 270, etc.).
What does the $499 access pass include?
