C|M|LAW offers its students several complimentary programs to help them prepare for the Ohio Bar Exam.  For example, C|M|LAW assigns a faculty mentor for each bar taker.  The faculty member communicates with the student throughout their final two years of law school to ensure they are planning and preparing for the exam.  The faculty mentor then serves as a sounding board during the final weeks of bar preparation. Cleveland-Marshall faculty experts also review bar exam topics for their graduates who are preparing for the exam. Cleveland-Marshall provides a commercial bar exam preparation course to students at no cost beyond their tuition. 

鈥淲e are so very proud of all of our bar takers and we are grateful for the dedicated Cleveland-Marshall faculty and staff who supported them through their efforts,鈥 said Heidi Gorovitz Robertson, director of student success and Steven W. Percy Distinguished Professor of Law at C|M|LAW.
