Academic Success and Bar Passage

The Office of Academic and Bar Success is dedicated to supporting students’ success from the day they start at the law school through the bar examination. The office oversees programming that is integrated into the curriculum such as orientation, writing programs, and bar preparation. We work collaboratively with Charleston School of Law faculty and staff to meet the needs of the students.

The office also provides individual academic counseling and support for students. We work closely with students who want extra help and are always available for one-on-one meetings.
