Hawaii's state bar exam consists of two main components: the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) and the Hawaii-specific essay questions. The MBE is a standardized test assessing knowledge of general legal principles, while the Hawaii component focuses on state-specific laws and procedures. The exam is typically administered twice a year, and candidates must pass both parts to be eligible for admission to the bar. Additionally, applicants must meet character and fitness requirements to practice law in Hawaii.
It is commonly referred to as the "bar exam," but it is often specified as the "state bar exam" to indicate that it is administered by individual states in the U.S. Each state has its own version of the exam, which assesses a candidate's knowledge of state-specific laws and legal principles. Therefore, both terms can be used, but "state bar exam" provides clarity regarding the jurisdiction.
