Professor Akilah Folami sees St. John’s continuing to strengthen its reputation as one of New York’s top law schools in bar passage rates

Assistant Legal Writing Professor

Professor Akilah Folami doesn’t think it should come as a surprise that the School of Law is among the top five law schools in New York in its bar passage rate. She believes things like a new bar review course, a New York practice course, and additional course requirements in areas covered by the bar will only strengthen the School of Law’s reputation.

“There are several things that we have done to evolve our curriculum in ways that will better prepare our students. We’re very focused on getting our students prepared for the world of practicing law, and that starts with passing the bar. Our hope is that these are things that will help them get to the point of being practicing attorneys, if that’s what they want to do.”
