The district attorney’s office says one of its law clerks passed the State Bar of California exam at age 17.
The Tulare County District Attorney’s Office said this week that, according to research, Peter Park is the youngest person to pass the exam.
The State Bar said Friday in an email to The Associated Press that it could not confirm that Park was the youngest, but it praised her accomplishments.
“Passing the California Bar exam is a huge accomplishment at any age, and for someone as young as Mr. Park, it’s an incredible accomplishment and one to celebrate,” said Executive Director Leah Wilson.
Park took the exam in July and received the test results on Nov. 9, according to a news release issued by the District Attorney’s office this week.
“It’s not easy, but it’s worth it,” Park said in a statement.
Park started high school at Oxford Academy in Cypress, California, in 2019 at age 13 and simultaneously began a four-year juris doctor program at Northwestern California University School of Law after completing college-level proficiency exams, the office said.

He became a law clerk for the District Attorney’s office in August, turned 18 in late November and was sworn in as a lawyer on Tuesday.
