Pass the Bar. Get a Great Job

Students get individualized attention from their first semester on, so they can identify a career pathway that interests them and pursue related coursework and activities. The first year begins with a Student-Alumni Career Conference allowing students to learn about different practice areas directly from alumni. The conversation continues throughout the first year in our Professional Development course required for all 1Ls. To complement this unique approach to career development, the upper-level curriculum has been designed around different career paths. Students build on their required foundation courses with advanced classes, bar-related classes, drafting courses, clinic work, internships, externships, and co-curricular activities like trial and appellate advocacy.

St. John’s Law partners with bar review leader BARBRI to offer students an unmatched level of legal education and professional support that includes automatic access to BARBRI’s bar review and other critical academic success resources as part of the law school curriculum. This provides you with integrated bar prep from day one and cost-savings post-graduation.

• Students will get early access to their bar prep program, as well as MPRE, 1L mastery series, and other resources available in bar tested subjects • Students will get to practice with bar questions in each subject area, as faculty will have a bank of over 1000 multiple choice questions available in every subject area tested on the bar exam • Bar prep course post-graduation will be free, as the cost is included in their academic success fee

All of this develops practical skills and targeted expertise so St. John’s Law students graduate profession-ready to pass the bar. New York State
