A Leading Israel Law School
Founded in 1970, the Bar-Ilan Faculty of Law is today one of Israel's leading law schools. With about 30 full-time professors, some 80 adjunct professors, several distinguished short-term visiting professors from the world's leading law schools, and over 2,000 students in its LL.B., LL.M., M.A. and PhD programs, the Faculty has become a dynamic academic center with international reputation. The Faculty's rich academic programs are supplemented by its many legal clinics and research institutes, and together, its faculty and students have built a warm community and supportive learning environment that attracts excellent students from all over Israel. It is the only law school in Israel that requires clinical work in order to graduate. 

BIU Law Grads Score Highest in the Land!
The Israel Bar Association admission results for 2008 are in and once again, BIU has cause for pride: BIU law graduates achieved the highest average grade compared to examinees of all the other institutions in Israel, and one of the highest grades recorded in the last five years! Of the 103 Bar-Ilan law graduates who took the exam 96% of them successfully passed. (Only 88% of the examinees in general passed). Bar-Ilan law grads were continuing a trend as last year the percentage of Bar-Ilan graduates who passed the Bar exam was the highest in Israel (98%). "We are proud of our graduates and of their achievements," says Prof. Aryeh Reich, Dean of BIU's Faculty of Law. "Bar Ilan law graduates are really making their mark, achieving top positions in the Supreme Court as well as in leading law firms throughout the country."
