Generally speaking, the Florida Bar Exam comprises two assessments: the General Bar and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). The General Bar, a bi-annual examination administered by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, evaluates the candidate’s acumen of general and Florida law after graduating from an ABA-accredited college of law.

Nearly every aspect of law enforcement has a court decision that governs criteria. Most court rulings are the result of civil lawsuit towards a police officer and agency. However, currently, there is no law that mandates law enforcement driver training. When it comes to firearms, negligence by officers has resulted in a multitude of court rulings. Popow v. City of Margate, 1979, is a particularly interesting case that outlines failed firearms training by an agency.
