Northeastern Law Grads Earn Second Highest Mass. Bar Pass Rate

Northeastern Law graduates had the second highest bar passage rate in Massachusetts for July 2024 first-time takers: 95.7%. Only Harvard Law School graduates did better, with a 98% pass rate. “This is a testament to the excellence of our students and the hard work of our faculty, who are among the best legal educators in the nation,” said Dean James Hackney. “I particularly want to commend Dean Antoinette Coakley, who heads our Bar Success Program.”
