Campbell Law School Ranks Second in North Carolina for 2011 Bar Passage Rates
Campbell Law Bests UNC-Chapel Hill and Wake Forest University for First-Time Exam Takers, Maintains Top Overall Record of Success on Exam Among State Schools
Raleigh, NC, September 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Melissa Essary, dean of the Campbell University Norman A. Wiggins School of Law (http://law.campbell.edu), has announced the school ranked second among all North Carolina law schools for passage rates on the North Carolina Bar Exam for first-time exam takers, according to the N.C. Board of Law Examiners. Campbell boasted nearly a 92 percent passage rate, falling short of only Duke University, which came in first with a 100 percent passage rate. Campbell outperformed UNC-CH, Wake Forest, North Carolina Central University, Elon University and Charlotte Law School for bar passage rates. With all of the schools combined, 82 percent of first-time exam takers in North Carolina passed the bar exam.
For the past 25 years, Campbell Law has remained solidly in first place among North Carolina law schools for passage rates on the North Carolina Bar Exam.
Quotes:
“Campbell Law School’s history of exceptional bar passage rates in North Carolina is a reflection of both the level of expectation we set for our students and the level of dedication we receive from them,” said Essary. “We are proud of our curriculum, which challenges our students to push themselves above and beyond the efforts of a typical law student, and of our faculty, who continue to give us the most thoughtful, innovative and practice-ready lawyers in North Carolina.”
“Unlike a lot of law schools, Campbell Law does not have a for-credit class to study the bar exam, so our consistent top rankings for bar passage rates in North Carolina is a true testament to our culture and the commitment of our students, faculty and staff to produce top-notch attorneys,” said Sha Hinds-Glick, director of academic support and bar success at Campbell Law.
