Congratulations to the Capital University Law School graduates who learned this morning that they passed the Ohio Bar Exam that was administered in October. What a great accomplishment! This was an unprecedented year for the bar exam due to the pandemic, repeated postponements, and a remote, online exam. Capital University Law School's pass rate was third in the state (out of 9 law schools) among first-time exam takers!
