The number of graduates from The University of Toledo College of Law who passed the July bar exam in Ohio on the first try is well above the state average.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also UToledo\u2019s highest result for first-time takers on the summer exam in a decade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The newly released data shows the first-time passage rate for UToledo law graduates taking the bar exam is 89%, up from 84% in July 2018. The state average in Ohio this year is 82%.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud of our graduates for their success on the bar exam,\u201d said College of Law Dean D. Benjamin Barros. \u201cWe have done a lot of work at the College of Law over the past several years to help our graduates succeed on the bar exam. At the end of the day, though, it is the graduates who do the hard work needed to pass the exam, and this result is the payoff for their efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UToledo College of Law is committed to preparing students for a successful career with programming and partnerships dedicated to bar passage.<\/p>\n

In the last few years, the college aligned its curriculum to bar-tested subjects, developed a first-year support program, expanded its third-year bar prep course, and implemented a legal analysis course and academic success contracts.<\/p>\n

The UToledo College of Law also created the position of director of academic success and bar preparation, designed to prepare both third-year students and graduates for the bar exam. Through post-graduation mentoring, every law graduate is paired with a faculty mentor to provide support during bar exam study.<\/p>\n

Plus, the UToledo College of Law partnered with Barbri, a company headquartered in Texas, to offer students access to its comprehensive bar review course with flexible classroom, online and mobile learning environments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
