BU Law students pass Bar Exam at one of MA's highest rates

Boston University School of Law students passed the most recent Bar Exam at one of the highest rates in Massachusetts – 97.7% of first-time takers of the Massachusetts Bar and 97% overall. This rate was second only to Harvard Law School, where only 77 students took the test compared to 134 BU Law students.

Results for the July 2008 Bar Exam show BU Law graduates as the clear leaders among students from schools in the area, with several schools having less than half of their recent graduates pass.

Congratulations to the BU Law class of 2008 for this incredible success, which will be one among many more to come.
