Oregon Bar case studies
Oregon Bar · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Oregon Bar Examination is the licensing assessment that a candidate must pass to be admitted to practice law in Oregon. It is for law graduates and qualifying attorneys from other jurisdictions who intend to represent clients in Oregon courts and hold out as Oregon-licensed counsel. Admission also carries character-and-fitness, professional-responsibility, and application requirements that are separate from the written test, so the exam is only one part of the credential. The tested subjects are the standard American law school core: civil and criminal procedure, constitutional law, contracts and sales, evidence, property, torts, business associations, family law, wills and trusts, and professional responsibility, plus performance-test skills. The Oregon Bar case studies are 5 cases and about 3,457 words.
