This page is an independent study resource for candidates preparing for the Maryland jurisprudence examination associated with marriage and family therapy (MFT) licensure under the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists. The jurisprudence component is a multiple-choice test of Maryland-specific law and regulation rather than clinical theory: it asks whether you know the statutes and regulations that govern how MFTs practice in the state, not whether you can conduct therapy. The MD MFT Juris case studies are 5 cases and about 3,468 words.
