Because of the success of our four graduates, the law school achieved a 40% first-time pass rate which exceeded the state-wide overall pass rate of 33.5%. We are very proud of our new lawyers. Passing the California bar exam is one of the highest professional achievements because it is by far the most difficult bar exam in the United States."
