Academic Success & Bar Preparation
Academic Success and Bar Preparation
The Academic Success and Bar Preparation program offers the necessary support for students and alumni to maximize their performance in law school and on the bar examination. The program provides resources to help students succeed in law school, pass the bar examination, and develop strong practice skills.
FAMU Law offers a multi-pronged approach to facilitating the law school’s goals of increased grade point averages, enhanced overall academic performance, and bar exam passage on the first attempt. Beginning with a skills assessment during new student orientation and continuing to the no-cost, post-graduation RISE program, the Academic Success and Bar Preparation program encourages students to achieve academic success through critical skills training that will transcend the law school experience and directly impact their preparedness to pass the bar exam and to become competent legal professionals.
Bar Preparation
The RISE Program
FAMU Law’s Rise Program was developed to cultivate a bar readiness perspective that permeates the law school community and positively impacts students’ success on exams by providing access to supportive and tangible resources with a focus on exam readiness from the first year of law school through the bar examination.
