- Description:
- For the 11th consecutive year, University of Georgia School of Law graduates have led the state in the Georgia bar exam passage rate. UGA Law graduates who sat for the July 2024 exam posted the highest rate for first-time takers among the state’s law schools and exceeded the overall passage rate by more than 9%. "Bar exam passage is one of the leading indicators of success for both our students and for our law school," University of Georgia School of Law Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge said. "As the University of Georgia School of Law seeks to redefine what it means to be a great national public law school, we partner with our students through programs like our Bar Exam Success Team, bar prep stipends, and writing and test taking workshops. We are very proud our graduates who posted the highest first-time success rate (more than 90%) among Georgia’s law schools for the 11th straight year, and we will remain committed to those who did not get the optimal result until they achieve success and become leaders for state and society. Our recent near-perfect Ultimate Bar Passage Rate (99.48%) for those who sat for the bar and passed within two years of graduation is evidence of this dedication to our graduates. I am grateful for our Director of Bar Passage Jean Mangan and our alumni/alumnae and friends for supporting our programming that helps to make these excellent results possible."
