A California girl has passed the state's bar exam at the age of 17, one year after her brother achieved the same goal.

Sophia Park was 17 years and 8 months old when she passed the California bar exam on Nov. 8, according to the Tulare County District Attorney's Office. Her older brother, Peter Park, was 17 years and 11 months old when he passed the California bar exam in 2023. 

Byungjoo Park, the siblings' father, told "Good Morning America" Sophia is dedicated to becoming an attorney, which "was always part of her path."

"It's the result of four years of consistent, dedicated work. It didn't happen overnight," the father of four, who is an acupuncturist and U.S. patent agent, wrote in an email. "She has a thorough understanding of the law and is committed to using it justly. This is just the beginning of her journey."

Both of the Park siblings work at the Tulare County District Attorney's Office and District Attorney Tim Ward released a statement praising the two.

 

"Sophia's amazing accomplishments speak for themselves, and we could not be prouder as an office family," Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward said. "It really is quite remarkable the success we have had with our law students, interns and law clerks attaining their professional dreams. The dividends for our office have been immense, and we are excited to be part of Sophia and Peter's continued success."
