From July 2026 through February 2028 the foundational concepts are business associations, civil procedure, constitutional law, contract law, criminal law (with constitutional protections of the accused), evidence, real property, and torts; family law and trusts & estates are tested through skills questions and performance tasks with legal resources provided. Admission also requires an MPRE score of 75+, the open-book Virgin Islands Law Component (VILC), and a Character Examination and Personal Interview. The first-time application fee is $1,100 plus a $149 NCBE technology fee.

1A plaintiff domiciled in New York sues a defendant domiciled in Florida in federal court, alleging state-law breach of contract with $90,000 in damages. The defendant moves to dismiss. How should the court rule on subject-matter jurisdiction?
A.The court has diversity jurisdiction because the parties are completely diverse and the amount exceeds $75,000
B.The court lacks diversity jurisdiction because the amount in controversy does not exceed $75,000
C.The court has federal-question jurisdiction over the contract claim
D.The court must remand the case to state court
Explanation: Under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity of citizenship AND an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000. Here a New York plaintiff and a Florida defendant are completely diverse, and the alleged $90,000 exceeds the $75,000 threshold. Both requirements are satisfied, so the court has diversity jurisdiction.
2A corporation incorporated in Delaware with its headquarters and primary operations in Texas is sued in federal court. For purposes of diversity jurisdiction, where is the corporation a citizen?
A.Only Delaware, its state of incorporation
B.Only Texas, its principal place of business
C.Both Delaware and Texas
D.Wherever it conducts substantial business operations
Explanation: Under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1), a corporation is a citizen of both its state of incorporation and the state of its principal place of business. Per Hertz Corp. v. Friend (2010), the principal place of business is the 'nerve center'—typically the corporate headquarters. The corporation is therefore a citizen of both Delaware and Texas.
3A defendant who has never been to the forum state purchased goods online from a seller located there, but otherwise has no contacts with the state. The seller sues for breach in the forum state's court. Under International Shoe and its progeny, what is the key question for personal jurisdiction?
A.Whether the defendant was physically served within the forum state
B.Whether the defendant has minimum contacts such that suit does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice
C.Whether the defendant consented in writing to jurisdiction
D.Whether the plaintiff resides in the forum state
Explanation: International Shoe Co. v. Washington (1945) established that a court may exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant who has 'minimum contacts' with the forum such that maintaining the suit does not offend 'traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.' The analysis focuses on purposeful availment and the relationship among the defendant, the forum, and the litigation.
4A federal court sitting in diversity must decide whether to apply state or federal law to a substantive issue of tort liability. Under the Erie doctrine, what law governs?
A.A uniform national rule developed by the federal courts of appeals
B.Whichever law produces the more equitable outcome
C.Federal common law fashioned by the court
D.The substantive law of the state in which the federal court sits
Explanation: Under Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins (1938), a federal court sitting in diversity must apply state substantive law. There is no general federal common law. The court applies the law of the state—including its choice-of-law rules under Klaxon—to substantive questions, while federal procedural rules govern procedure.
5A plaintiff files a complaint that states a legally sufficient claim but contains only conclusory allegations without supporting factual content. The defendant moves to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6). Under Twombly and Iqbal, what standard applies?
A.The complaint is automatically dismissed if the defendant denies the allegations
B.The complaint survives if any set of facts could conceivably support the claim
C.The complaint must contain sufficient factual matter to state a claim that is plausible on its face
D.The complaint must prove the claim by a preponderance of the evidence
Explanation: Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly (2007) and Ashcroft v. Iqbal (2009) require that a complaint contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim that is 'plausible on its face.' Conclusory allegations are not entitled to the presumption of truth, and the court draws on judicial experience and common sense to assess plausibility.
6After a final judgment on the merits in a contract dispute, the losing plaintiff files a second suit against the same defendant arising from the same transaction, asserting a new legal theory not raised in the first action. The defendant raises claim preclusion. How should the court rule?
A.The second suit is barred because claim preclusion bars relitigation of claims that were or could have been raised arising from the same transaction
B.The second suit may proceed because the plaintiff was the losing party
C.The second suit is barred only if the defendant counterclaimed in the first action
D.The second suit may proceed because it asserts a different legal theory
Explanation: Claim preclusion (res judicata) bars a party from relitigating claims that were or could have been raised in a prior action that ended in a final judgment on the merits between the same parties, where the claims arise from the same transaction or occurrence. A new legal theory based on the same transaction is precluded.
7A party seeks to add a new claim against an existing opposing party more than 21 days after serving its pleading and after the deadline set in the scheduling order. What does the party need to amend its pleading?
A.A unanimous vote of the jury
B.Permission from the appellate court
C.Amendment as of right, with no court involvement
D.Leave of court or the opposing party's written consent, with leave freely given when justice so requires
Explanation: Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), once the time for amending as of right has passed, a party may amend only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave, and the court should freely give leave when justice so requires. Courts consider undue delay, prejudice, bad faith, and futility.
8Two parties move for summary judgment. The non-moving party's evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to it, would permit a reasonable jury to find in its favor on a material fact. Under Rule 56, how should the court rule?
A.Grant summary judgment to the moving party because the motion was filed first
B.Deny summary judgment because there is a genuine dispute of material fact
C.Grant summary judgment because the non-moving party bears the burden of proof
D.Submit the summary-judgment question to the jury
Explanation: Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(a), summary judgment is proper only when there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Per Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, a dispute is genuine if a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the non-movant. Because such a dispute exists, summary judgment must be denied.
9A plaintiff files suit in the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands. The District Court of the Virgin Islands is best described as which type of court?
A.An Article III court whose judges enjoy life tenure
B.An Article IV territorial court whose judges serve fixed ten-year terms
C.A local court of the Virgin Islands judiciary
D.A division of the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands
Explanation: The District Court of the Virgin Islands is an Article IV territorial court created under Congress's power to govern the territories. Unlike Article III courts, its judges do not have life tenure; they serve fixed ten-year terms. It exercises federal-question and diversity jurisdiction in the USVI, and its decisions are reviewed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
10An appeal is taken from a final judgment of the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands in a federal-question case. To which court does that appeal go?
A.The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
B.Directly to the Supreme Court of the United States
C.The Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands
D.The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Explanation: The United States Virgin Islands lies within the geographic boundaries of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Appeals from final decisions of the federal District Court of the Virgin Islands are taken to the Third Circuit, which also hears appeals from federal courts in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
