Wisconsin Bar Exam Subjects and Topics The Wisconsin Bar Exam is unique. It has not adopted the UBE but does use items from all three UBE components. It has adopted the entire MBE while cherry-picking items from the MEE and MPT. See below for details on possible subjects covered in the Wisconsin Essay Exam and MBE.
Each state has unique bar exam requirements. Most have adopted the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE®), while others have retained their original format (Non-UBE). Some are now shifting to the NextGen bar exam.

Anyone who studies law and passes the bar exam is classified as a lawyer. So, before hiring a lawyer, find out how far their practice extends. A lawyer's career is slightly more limited than an attorney's career.
