Law School Leads Bar Exam Passage Rate Once Again
Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School
of Law has once again led the state in percentage passing of the bar
exam according to the Board of Law Examiners of the State of North
Carolina. In the February 2004 results recently released, the the
law school's passing rate was 15 percent higher than the second-
place University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law.
Campbell’s passage rate also exceeded the total passage rate of all
exam takers by 21 percent.
Total applicants taking the exam numbered 375 with
189 passing for a total passage rate of 50 percent. Of that total,
Campbell students numbered 14, with 10 passing.
The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law has consistently
led the way in passing the North Carolina Bar since its inception,
including a 100 percent passage rate in 1994, the first time all members
of a graduating class accomplished that feat in North Carolina history.
Founded in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law
has an enrollment of over 300 students and enjoys a heritage derived
from three distinct traditions—the noble tradition of the legal
profession, the Christian tradition, and the finer traditions of the
rural South, such as friendliness and self-reliance. It strives to
educate lawyers who are prepared to serve their communities with legal
skills and ethical and intellectual leadership.
Founded in 1887, Campbell University is North Carolina’s
second largest private institution of higher education and the second
largest Baptist university in the world. Located in Buies Creek, NC,
just east of the center of the state, Campbell University combines
academic excellence and Christian commitment.
