Bar Preparation

CSU|LAW is invested in our students’ success. Our strategic approach to academic success and bar preparation is thorough – beginning in the days before Orientation with “Jumpstart” and continuing with a comprehensive bar preparation after graduation. Through our longstanding partnership with Barbri, students have access to a commercial bar preparation course as part of their tuition. CSU|LAW passage rates have been consistently among the top in the state for the past decade.

Bar Preparation Programs

Preparing for success on the Bar Exam starts in law school, that is why our motto at CSU|LAW is “Every day is a bar preparation day.” 

Student Success offers numerous programs to assist you with your goal of applying for, taking, and passing the bar exam on the first attempt.

  • A personalized Bar Exam preparation plan for each CSU|LAW
