: Legal Ethics ForumClass rank and bar passage: some data is released
There was interesting news this week at Berkeley. (Follow that link to the Nuts & Boalts website.)
In response to a low bar passage rate for the last bar exam, Dean Edley disclosed to 3Ls the bar passage rates by class rank. The top third passed at 100%. The middle third passed at 94%. The bottom third passed at 51%. Berkeley and Edley should be congratulated for their candor. Every law school should release that kind of data. They should share it with admittees and all students, so that they can make more intelligent deicisons about classes to take, bar prep, etc. What other information might law schools share with admittees and students?
