Three more states have announced they will adopt the NextGen Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). Law.come reports that Alabama, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania have joined the growing number of states agreeing to utilize the new exam. This brings to 43 the total number of jurisdictions adopting the NextGen UBE, which aims to assess practical legal skills and ethical decision-making, preparing new lawyers for the realities of modern legal practice. Also recently, one state rejected the new exam. Nevada has announced that its bar exam will include three components: a multiple-choice section, a performance examination and a supervised practice component.
