TAU Students Once Again Lead in Bar Exam Success with 95% Pass Rate
The Buchmann Faculty of Law at TAU continues to top the rankings with a 95% bar exam pass rate
According to data published by the Bar Association, the Buchmann Faculty of Law at Tel Aviv University continues to lead among Israeli institutions and is one of the leading faculties in Israel, once again topping the charts for the percentage of students who successfully pass the exam. 95% of our law students have passed the Bar exam and obtained licenses to practice law in Israel. In second place is the Hebrew University with 94%, followed by Bar-Ilan University with 93%.
In total, 1,863 candidates took the Bar Association exams held this month, with a 60% overall pass rate. This marks a 5% increase from the previous session, where only 55% of candidates passed. Among first-time exam takers, the pass rate is particularly high at 82%. The gap in pass rates between university graduates and college graduates remains significant: while 92% of university graduates who took the exam passed, only 52% of college graduates did.
The Buchmann Faculty of Law is a pioneer in the Israeli legal world not only thanks to its wide array of programs and world-class staff, but also because of its commitment to social involvement and furthering the cause of underprivileged communities. Its legal clinics allow students to get involved in issues such as environmental justice, the rights of Holocaust survivors, worker and refugee law, fair housing and criminal law.
For international students, the Buchmann Faculty of Law also offers the Parasol Foundation Trust International LLM program in English.
