Despite the national and statewide trend of declining bar pass rates, the University of La La Verne College of Law first time bar takers continue to perform significantly above the California ABA average. At 67 percent, La Verne ranked 13 points higher than California ABA first-time bar takers (54 percent). On the national front, it also surpasses out-of-state ABA first-time bar takers by 26 points (41 percent). In 2014, the College of Law\u2019s first-time bar pass rate was 7 points above the first-time pass rate for all graduates from ABA law schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am exceedingly proud of the effort and commitment of our graduates and of the faculty, staff and administrators at the College of Law,\u201d said La Verne Law Dean Gilbert Holmes. \u201cThese bar pass results stem from our collective focus on success.\u201d<\/p>\n
One major factor involved in the success of La Verne Law graduates in passing the bar has been the resources the law school has provided through its Center for Academic & Bar Readiness (CABR). Its customized post-graduation bar review \u2013 the Bar Exam Strategic Training (BEST) Program \u2013 is available to La Verne Law students at no additional charge.<\/p>\n
According to Assistant Dean for CABR Jendayi Saada, La Verne Law\u2019s pass rates are strongly correlated with the level of participation and engagement in BEST by its graduates.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese bar results for La Verne College of Law are indicative of the skills, abilities, and commitment of our students,\u201d said Saada. \u201cThe results show that even in the face of declining bar pass rates across the state and country, La Verne students will rise to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
