Out of curiosity, I made a cursory examination of the data on the bar exams results over a 10-year period, from 2003 to 2012. I found some interesting data that are worth sharing. For example, of the 118 law schools with candidates taking the 2012 bar examinations:
There are 34 schools that had a zero passing percentage. Of these schools, 16 had zero-percent passing rate at least 50-percent of the time since 2003;
There are 40 schools with a passing rate between one percent and 10 percent. Of these schools, 19 had less than 10-percent passing rate at least 50-percent of the time since 2003;
There are 28 schools with passing rate between 10 percent and 20 percent. Of these schools, 26 had less than 25-percent passing rate at least 50-percent of the time since 2003;
There are seven law schools with a passing rate between 25 percent and 50 percent. Of these schools, two had less than 50-percent passing rate at least 50-percent of the time since 2003;
There are only five law schools that obtained a passing rate between 50 percent and 75 percent. Three of these schools had less than 75-percent passing rate since 2003; and,
There are only two schools that had a passing rate of more than 75 percent in 2012. Of these two law schools, only one has consistently made the 75-percent mark since 2003.
