On Monday, June 3, Chapman Law’s February 2013 Bar Exam passers gathered in Kennedy Hall to celebrate their accomplishment at the official swearing-in ceremony.

Chapman’s most recent Bar pass rate continues to beat the national average even though the February Bar Exam is typically taken by fewer people. “70% of our first time takers who participated in our supplemental program in February passed, exceeding the CA ABA average by 10 percentage points,” mentioned Professor Mario Mainero who heads the Bar prep program. In December, Chapman’s Bar passage rate was 82%–a record breaker for the school.

The ceremony was attended by Orange County Superior Court Judge Wendy Lindley, who administered the state oath and opening remarks. The Honorable Theodor C. Albert, United States Bankruptcy Court, also bestowed a few words of wisdom to the recent bar passers followed by the OCBA Young Lawyers Division Chair, Michelle Tran (J.D. ’10) and the Chapman Law Alumni Chair Scott Levitt (’03, ‘10).

Congratulations to the newest attorneys from the Chapman Law family!
