The Tulare County District Attorney's Office said recently that, according to research, Peter Park is the youngest person to pass the exam. He took the exam in July and received the results November 9.
Park began high school at Oxford Academy in Cypress, California, in 2019 at age 13 and simultaneously began a four-year juris doctor program at the Northwestern California University School of Law after completing college-level proficiency exams.
Park graduated high school in 2021 by taking the state's high school proficiency exam and focused on law school, graduating this year.
He became a law clerk for the DA’s office in August, turned 18 in late November and was sworn in as an attorney earlier this month.
