Western State College of Law at Argosy University, the
oldest law school in Orange County, California, is pleased to announce that 92%of its graduates taking the State Bar of California's Committee of BarExaminers exam for the first time in February of 2012 have passed, placing
Western State College of Law first among the twenty California law schools who
are American Bar Association (ABA) accredited.
“We are thrilled that our graduates who took the bar exam
for the first time performed so well on the February exam,” says William Adams,
Dean of the College. “Our graduates have demonstrated the value of their legal
education at Western State and their commitment to the future of the
profession.”
In all, 62% of the first-time exam takers from California
ABA accredited law schools passed. The three-day General Bar Examination is
administered twice a year, in February and July. The exam consists of three
sections: a multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), six essay
questions and two performance tests that are designed to assess an applicant's
ability to apply general legal knowledge to practical tasks.
If the Western State College of Law graduates who passed the
February 2012 California exam satisfy other requirements for admission, they
will become members of the State Bar.
