University of Oregon Passage Rates Into The Oregon State Bar Jump in 2020

As of July 2021, The Oregon State Bar released bar passage rates. Graduates from the University of Oregon School of Law noticeably outperformed the state average with a passage rate of 90% compared to the average state pass rate of 84%.

The state’s “effective” passage rate in 2020 was 95%, however, because most bar applicants used the temporary diploma privilege provided by the Oregon Supreme Court. The effective pass rate for Oregon Law for July 2020 was an eye-opening 99%.

“I’m thrilled for our incredible graduates,” Marcilynn Burke, dean, and Dave Frohnmayer Chair in Leadership and Law said. “These pass rates are a credit not only to their hard work, but also to all those who supported their efforts.”
