Ave Maria School of Law’s bar passage was ranked #1 in the state of Florida with 83 percent of graduates passing the February bar exam on the first try. This far exceeds the statewide average passing rate of 64.3 percent.
“I am proud of the diligence and great work of our graduates. They have represented our school, their families and themselves with absolute distinction. They deserve all the credit for their hard work and dedication,” said President and Dean of Ave Maria School of Law, Kevin Cieply. “Bar passage remains one of our top priorities and our faculty and staff are committed to helping our graduates to achieve success on the bar exam. We want to ensure that they are fully prepared for their legal career.”
Ave Maria School of Law launched an unprecedented effort to prepare her graduates to succeed on the bar exam. These efforts include new mandatory and elective course offerings, the creation and enhancement of our Advanced Critical Thinking department, an array of other programming and expert guest lecturers, and a renewed emphasis on academic rigor. We believe that this comprehensive approach will ensure that our graduates are given all they need to succeed on bar examinations.
Ave Maria School of Law will continue to reinforce and expand upon our bar preparation resources, including the appointment of a new Director of Bar Preparation so that every graduate has all he or she needs to pass the bar exam and enter the legal profession as a force for good.
The Florida Board of Bar Examiners results for first-time takers of the general bar examination and the Multi-state Professional Responsibility Examination were released by the Florida Supreme Court on Monday, April 13.
