Campbell Law School Leads North Carolina Bar Passage Rates For February

RALEIGH, NC, April 17, 2013 (Press-News.org) Campbell Law School (http://law.campbell.edu), has announced that their graduates led all seven North Carolina law schools in first-time and overall bar passage on the February 2013 state bar exam. First-time test takers from Campbell Law scored a 90 percent bar passage rate, while repeaters passed at a 62.50 percent clip.

The state bar passage average for first-time takers was 63.81 percent, with a state-wide average of 44.52 percent repeaters passing.

Although Campbell Law does not offer a for-credit bar prep course for its students, Sha Hinds-Glick, Campbell Law's Director of Academic Support & Bar Success, leads an optional and thorough bar exam essay prep course to current students and alumni. Of the Campbell Law graduates that participated in the optional program, 100 percent of first-time test takers passed the bar exam while 75 percent of repeat takers succeeded.

The February bar exam results continue Campbell Law's 26-year run of owning the best overall record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam of any law school in the state. That streak was solidified last July 2012 when Campbell Law led the state with a 94.53 bar passage rate.

QUOTES:
"Our law school community is immensely proud of our graduates, and we congratulate them on successfully navigating their way through the state bar exam," said Campbell Law Interim Dean Keith Faulkner. "Our thoughts and prayers remain with them as many begin to make professional advancements as a result of this tremendous achievement."

"This score is a testament to the work ethic of our students, as well as our culture, curriculum, and the commitment of our students, faculty, and staff," said Hinds-Glick. "This is a great accomplishment for both Campbell Law and the entire Campbell University community."
