Toledo Law grads second on both Ohio and Michigan July 2014 bar exams

November 25, 2014

Toledo Law graduates passed the Ohio bar exam this summer at the second-highest rate among Ohio’s nine law schools, according to results for first-time takers released on Oct. 31. UT’s pass rate for the July bar exam was 86.4%, as 51 of its 59 first-time bar exam takers were successful. The overall state pass rate for first-time takers was 81%. Over 1000 applicants took the bar exam for the first time in July. 

In Michigan, where Toledo Law is grouped with the five in-state law schools, its graduates had a first-time pass rate of 85%, second in the state behind University of Michigan’s 87%. The overall Michigan pass rate for first-time takers on the July 2014 exam was 73%. 

All Toledo Law graduates who took the Illinois and Pennsylvania bars also passed.

“We are proud of our graduates’ performance, but not surprised,” said Daniel J. Steinbock, dean of the College of Law. “Our curriculum thoroughly prepares our students for bar exams throughout the country, and our faculty’s teaching ability is second to none.”

Steinbock noted that these outstanding results came while UT law students are paying the lowest tuition rate of any law school in Ohio and Michigan.
