Bar Passage Rate Continues to Rise

For the second year in a row, that rate outshines the overall rate for all first-time NY Bar Exam takers from ABA-approved law schools in the State of New York, home to several highly regarded private law schools. Additionally, for the fourth consecutive year, 100% of UB Law’s Pro Bono Scholars who took the bar in February—one semester earlier than the rest of their classmates—passed the exam.

“We are extremely proud of these results,” says Dean S. Todd Brown. “They reflect the hard work and determination of our students, as well as the commitment of our faculty and staff who are focused on our students’ success. This year we launched our new Rally the Pass initiative, a full community effort to provide encouragement and support throughout the bar prep period. We are very grateful to the University, the UB Law Alumni Association, and the many alumni donors who provided critical funding for the pilot program.”
