Congrats to the July 2025 Bar Candidates and Thank You to everyone involved with administering the July 2025 Bar Exam!
Thank you to everyone from the Ohio Supreme Court who made the Ohio Bar Exam possible this year. I am especially grateful for the regional bar locations this year and that I was afforded the opportunity to take the exam with a home field advantage at Cleveland State University. Thank you to everyone who worked to make this all possible from CSU, Ohio State University and University of Cincinnati! All the staff and volunteers worked seamlessly to make sure things went smoothly and as stress free as possible (before opening the seal on the packet that is).
To my fellow test takers,
Congratulations! We made it through studying and the exam and, while it will be hard, we will get through the waiting as well.
Until October 2025, as we all try to deal with the emotional whiplash that is overanalyzing every answer and rule while trying to return to some sense of normalcy, keep looking ahead! If you haven’t already, take the MPRE and the Ohio Law Component, learn the CLE requirements, update your email signature and LinkedIn (you’re a J.D. not a law student anymore).
The future is open to you, as your legal career is just beginning!

The July 2025 Bar Exam is Over!
