Youngest Ever to Pass California Bar Exam: Teen Prodigy Makes Legal History
Peter Park, seventeen, made legal history by becoming the youngest person to pass the California Bar Exam.
Park, a former law clerk in the Tulare County District Attorney’s office, took the exam in July and received his results last month. At the age of thirteen, he began high school at Oxford Academy in Orange County while also enrolled in a four-year juris doctor program at Northwestern California University School of Law.
“It was not easy, but it was worth it. It required discipline and strategy to pass the Bar, and I made it in the end. I am extremely blessed to have discovered this path, and my hope is that more people will realize that alternative paths exist to becoming an attorney. I aspire to become a prosecutor because I am driven by a moral obligation to uphold liberty, equality, and justice in society. I admire how prosecutors keep our community safe and bring closure to victims…I aspire to become a prosecutor because I am driven by a moral obligation to uphold liberty, equality, and justice in society.
