Regent Law is ranked 20th in the nation for Ultimate Bar Passage, a new American Bar Association (ABA) measurement of how many of a school’s graduates pass the bar exam within two years of graduation.
The ABA questionnaire tracks the number of graduates by calendar year of graduation who passed the bar examination within one year after graduation and within two years after graduation. In the most recent questionnaire, law schools reported the number of graduates in calendar year 2016 who took the bar examination within two years of graduation, and the number of graduates in calendar year 2017 who took the bar examination within one year of graduation.
Regent Law's most recent Ultimate Bar Passage Rate is 97.18%, ranking Regent Law 20th in the Nation according to a recent ABA report.
“I could not be more proud of the students, our faculty, and Regent Law as a whole. This statistic reflects what we tell all prospective and current students—that we are committed to ensuring that every student is equipped to pass the bar exam,” said Dean Mark Martin, former Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court. “Through our substantive curriculum, required bar-prep classes, designated bar prep faculty, and summer prep course, Regent Law prepares its students from the first day of classes through the summer after graduation to pass the bar exam. I am thankful to be able to say that this report demonstrates just that.”
The ABA identifies this report as the single-most important outcome for measuring law school student success. As the ABA stated in an April 19 report, "There is . . . no other single outcome that better measures whether a law school is offering a rigorous program of legal education to a group of students that the school has determined through its admissions process, are likely capable of completing the J.D. program and being admitted to the bar."
