Supreme court review

31.11(1) Extraordinary circumstances. An unsuccessful applicant whose combined, scaled score on the Legacy UBE is at least 260, but less than 266, or whose scaled score on the NextGen February 2026 ADMISSION TO THE BAR Ch 31, p.9 UBE is at least 605, but less than 610, may file a petition in the supreme court requesting review of the board’s determination. However, the board’s decision regarding an applicant’s score is final and will not be reviewed by the court absent extraordinary circumstances. “Extraordinary circumstances” would include issues such as the board’s refusal to correct a clear mathematical error but would not include a claim that the board erred in the grade assigned to a particular answer. 31.11(2) Petition for review. The petition must be filed with the clerk of the supreme court and served upon the board. The petition must be filed within 20 days of the date the applicant’s score is posted in the office of professional regulation and must be accompanied by a $150 fee. The petition must identify in detail the extraordinary circumstances requiring supreme court review of the board’s determination. If a petition is not filed within the 20-day period, the board’s determination is not subject to review. 31.11(3) Supreme court order. Upon request of the court, the board will transmit to the supreme court the complete record in the case. All documents submitted for the court’s review, other than the applicant’s petition, are confidential. Unless the court orders otherwise, the court will review the petition on the record previously made. After consideration of the record, the court will enter its order sustaining or denying the petition. The order of the court is conclusive.
