Parlow told the group, noting they enter &#8220;an\u00a0honorable and learned profession.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I encourage you to embrace the great responsibility that goes along with it, and I can\u2019t wait to see all the great ways in which you impact your communities,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Fowler offers extensive bar preparation<\/h3>\n<p>Many of the newest members of the bar from Chapman credited the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/law\/student-resources\/bar-preparation\/index.aspx\">bar preparation<\/a> course offered to Fowler students free of charge after graduation as they study for the state bar exam in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found it to be very valuable,\u201d said Scott Liebert (JD \u201917). \u201cIt was one of those things where there is so much time over the summer but it constantly feels like you\u2019re running out of time. To have a specific place to go every day was definitely huge and brought structure to the program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The class initially meets for three hours every day, then pares down to several times a week. Last summer, participants in the intensive bar-prep course combined to submit more than 4,800 practice essays and performance tests. Fowler also offers two for-credit bar preparation courses to students while they are still in law school.<\/p>\n<p>Liebert served as a teaching assistant for the post-graduation course under Mario Mainero, Fowler professor of academic achievement and executive director of bar preparation, and was weighing two job offers after passing the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Allison Howard (JD \u201917) also said she would \u201chighly, highly recommend\u201d the free bar-prep class for Fowler graduates, adding that she felt better prepared than students from other schools who did only online preparation. \u201cI think I passed because of that class,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Now working as an associate attorney for Bremer Whyte Brown &amp; O\u2019Meara in Newport Beach, Howard said the firm set up its own swearing-in ceremony but she chose to attend Fowler\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was meaningful,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted to go be with my classmates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduates exceed overall first-time pass rate again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1584,"featured_media":13176,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[357,237,275,380],"class_list":["post-13174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news","tag-bar-admission-ceremony","tag-bar-exam-preparation-program","tag-california-state-bar-exam","tag-chapman-university-fowler-school-of-law"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
