It's Residency-match season at Elon Law!

Our 1Ls and 2Ls met with attorneys and representatives from law firms, government agencies and nonprofits this week to learn about opportunities for their Residency-in-Practice.

The 10-week, full-time Residency gives every Elon Law student the opportunity to put their legal education to work alongside practicing attorneys before graduating and entering practice. Grateful to our many partners across the Triad and state for the mentorship they provide our students as they prepare to enter the profession.

“What happens when we don't expect enough?”

Our Class of 2025 achieved a 90.9% first-time bar passage rate. But the story behind that number is about much more than an exam.

It’s about setting high expectations, giving students the tools to succeed, and building a community around a common goal.

“When we set high expectations, we owe students extraordinary support.”

Dean Zak Kramer shares the story behind Elon Law’s bar success — and the culture that helped make it possible — in a new column for Higher Ed Dive.

A rise in first-time bar passage wasn’t driven by a quick fix. It came from changing expectations.
