NORMAN, Okla. – Graduates from the University of Oklahoma College of Law tied a school record this year for success on the state’s bar exam. First-time examinees had a 94 percent pass rate on the Oklahoma Bar Exam this July, matching last year’s record-breaking rate.
Both years resulted in the university’s highest July first-time pass rates since Oklahoma’s adoption of the Uniform Bar Exam in July 2021.
“We are proud of our graduates for their hard work and preparation, and congratulate them for their achievements,” said Anna Carpenter, dean of the OU College of Law. “These accomplishments over consecutive years are a testament to our commitment to fostering the next generation of legal professionals as Oklahoma’s only public law school.”
A total of 106 first-time and repeat examinees from the OU College of Law took the Oklahoma Bar Exam offered in July. They also had the highest pass rate of graduates among all in-state institutions.
“Preparing graduates for the bar exam is a school-wide effort at OU Law involving the teaching and support of dedicated faculty, staff and administrators,” said Sunny Rowland, assistant professor and director of academic and bar support at OU Law. “Our graduates successfully pass the bar exam from year to year because they are prepared and take advantage of many resources offered at OU Law.”
