Wayne Law named among best law schools in nation for bar prep

Wayne State University Law School has been recognized as one of the best law schools in the nation for bar exam preparation by The National Jurist.

The publication’s winter issue will feature the 40 law schools on the list. Wayne Law is the only law school in Michigan recognized.

According to The National Jurist, schools named were part of a study that predicts bar exam passage rates using average LSAT scores and then identifies the schools that perform better than expected. The law schools that performed 4 percentage points better than predicted for the classes of 2013 and 2014 were included.

This year, for the July bar exam, Wayne Law’s state bar exam passage rate surpassed the state average. For first-time test-takers, the passage rate was 81 percent, 4 points higher than the state average of 77 percent. Wayne Law’s overall July passage rate, which includes those retaking the test, was 75 percent, 9 points higher than the state average of 66 percent.

“Wayne Law is committed to helping students succeed in law school and pass the bar exam,” said Interim Dean Lance Gable. “Our programs are designed to provide additional bar support, using diagnostic exams to predict areas that students should focus on as well as free programs to enhance essay writing skills.”
