Interested in reviewing and grading one of the essay answers for those examinees taking the July Bar Exam in Missouri?
The Missouri Board of Law Examiners provides training for the position and the grader is paired with another grader who has graded the Bar Exam in the past. The Missouri Bar Exam will be held on July 30-31 in Columbia, Missouri. The prospective grader would need to be available during the period August 10-27. While the grader will not be grading continuously during that period, our grading process includes an initial grading period and some additional regrading for certain essays.
We are looking for an attorney who has some level of experience in legal writing, whether as a law clerk or in legal practice. The grader also must be available to grade during the grading window noted above. Because the graders work in two person teams, both graders will determine the best period to grade the exam. The grading teams typically need 2-3 days to grade the essays for the July exam as each grader grades on-half of the total essays for that question, approximately 300 to 325 essays. The graders are provided significant support and resources from the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). NCBE prepares the essay questions and provides support and technical assistance to those jurisdictions who have adopted the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). NCBE provides both a live workshop in Madison, WI and a webinar on the Saturday after the exam (August 3, 2024) to go over each question and how the points will be allocated for each question. Graders are invited to attend those sessions to get up to speed on the question on model answers before they start grading. There may be funding available to defray the costs for a grader who wants to attend the in-person workshop.
The Board pays each grader $8 per essay to grade the shorter essays from the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) and $16 per essay to grade the longer essays from the Multistate Practice Test (MPT).
The grader may not be employed by a law school, nor may the grader have any close relationship with an individual taking the July 2024 Bar Exam (ex: son, daughter, or other close relative).
If interested, please contact:

Executive Director
Missouri Board of Law Examiners
