In addition to successfully passing the Alaska Bar Exam, an applicant must attain a scaled score of 80 on the MPRE.  AmeriBar's Free MPRE Course can help you get admission to practice law in Alaska.

Alaska does not accept MBE scores from other jurisdictions.   Therefore, applicants must sit for the MBE while taking the Alaska Bar Exam.

To be eligible for admission without taking the Alaska Bar Exam (commonly called reciprocity), the applicant must have taken and passed a written bar exam in a reciprocal state or D.C. and have engaged in the active practice of law for 5 of the 7 years in any jurisdiction preceding application. The applicant must also have passed the MPRE and meet other admission requirements.  Otherwise, all applicants must take the Alaska Bar Exam.
