Ohio Bar Exam results, 2011-17
Akron Law's students have enjoyed an established history of excellence on the Ohio bar exam. Akron Law supports its graduates' bar exam preparation in Ohio and beyond. For example, our bar exam takers will receive up to a maximum of $2,250 of the final cost of their commercial bar exam preparation course. Akron Law offers a three-credit bar exam preparation elective course, and sends representatives to the bar exam to support our students each February and July. In addition, third-year students are given the opportunity to take the new MBE Prep course, giving students access to Adapatibar, which targets success on the MBE portion of the bar exam.
For more detailed analysis of recent bar examination statistics, please see the below graph. In addition, bar exam statistics may be found on the bar admissions webpage at The Supreme Court of Ohio, or the webpages of other state supreme courts.
