The results of the February Texas Bar exam have been released and Baylor Law is again No. 1 with a 95.56 percent pass rate. Texas has nine law schools, and since 2001 Baylor Law has been No. 1 on 17 of 24 bar exams given. "As always, the credit goes to our bright students who work so hard, to our dedicated faculty and staff colleagues, and to our wonderfully supportive University leadership," said Baylor Law School Dean Brad Toben. "With all of us working together, we again have put Baylor Law in the No. 1 slot!"

Baylor Law School Associate Professor Luke Meier has been selected as a recipient of the Outstanding Faculty (Non-tenured/Scholarship) award from Baylor University. Meier will be recognized at Baylor University's commencement ceremonies on May 17-18. "Professor Meier is a phenomenal scholar," said Baylor Law School Dean Brad Toben. "He produces a tremendous quantity of scholarship. More importantly, though, is the nature, quality and depth of his work. Professor Meier's scholarship falls into the traditional - and best - notion of what academic writing should accomplish."

Baylor Law School professors Ron Beal, Patricia Wilson, and Bridget Fuselier have been elected to membership in the Fellows of the Texas Bar Foundation. Fellows of the Foundation are selected for their outstanding professional achievements and their demonstrated commitment to the improvement of the justice system throughout Texas.Selection as a Fellow of the Foundation is restricted to members of the State Bar of Texas. Each year, the number of State Bar members invited to become Fellows represents just one-third of 1 percent of membership. Once nominees are selected, they must be elected by the Texas Bar Foundation Board of Trustees. Membership has grown from an initial 254 charter Fellows in 1965 to more than 7,500 Fellows throughout Texas today.
