Succeed Academically

When it comes to bar passage, Minnesota Law sets the bar high. With the highest bar passage rate in the state of Minnesota, the 2022 graduating class had a 97% pass rate for first-time test takers, and a 100% pass rate for second-time takers. This comes in significantly ahead of the statewide average passage rate of 88%.

Celebrating the results, Dean Garry W. Jenkins commented, "I know that all of us are deeply committed to the success of our graduates. Other state results are rolling in, and they, too, are extraordinarily strong. Special thanks and appreciation to Kim Ronning, our outstanding Director of Academic and Bar Success, and to all the staff and faculty who supported our students through the bar exam and taught them so well during their years at Minnesota Law. And, of course, congratulations to our many successful exam takers!"
