The Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) previously included Constitutional Law as a tested subject. Its absence reflects a shift in emphasis within the bar examination’s scope, potentially prioritizing other legal areas deemed more critical for entry-level legal practice. This can alter the content covered on the MEE exam.
This modification may be influenced by various factors, including feedback from bar examiners, legal educators, and practicing attorneys regarding the relevance and practicality of different legal topics for newly admitted lawyers. Resource constraints, leading to decisions on which topics should receive the most focus during the exam are also very likely factors.
