A California district court recently affirmed the California Committee of Bar Examiners' decision to require the state’s accredited law schools to post their bar pass information on their website.
The Committee of Bar Examiners in California requires California-accredited law schools to post bar passage information on their websites or publish a link to statistics maintained on the State Bar’s website. A rule requiring schools to have a separate accreditation page on their websites was approved earlier this year, along with a new requirement for the schools to maintain a cumulative bar pass rate of at least 40 percent.
The Southern California Institute of Law challenged the rule on First Amendment grounds, arguing that the performance of an institution’s graduates on the bar exam is not necessarily indicative of the quality of a law school education.
U.S. District Court Judge James V. Selna dismissed the lawsuit by the Southern California Institute of Law last month. Judge Selna’s ruling said that since the law school chose to obtain accreditation, it may also be subject to certain rules. The court held that the information is factual and uncontroversial and prospective students are free to draw their own conclusions about its relevance. The State Bar can require California-accredited law schools to disclose information about bar exam pass rates of their graduates.
“The decision vindicates the bar’s regulatory authority over these schools,” said Sean McCoy, chairman of the Committee of Bar Examiners. “It’s our responsibility to use that authority in a way that protects the integrity of the profession and protects the public.”
Firstly, shouldn’t every state require that their law schools post this information? Secondly, how can a state allow the cumulative bar pass rate to be at least 40%? How can a school keep accreditation when 60% of their students fail the bar exam? I was especially amused by the argument made by the Institute that bar passage is not indicative of the quality of the law school. If bar passage results are not indicative of quality, then what is the standard? I'd like to know. Issues to ponder over as we wait for more bar exam results.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Missouri’s Bar Exam Results Have Been Released and the MBE/UBE Information We Have Been Waiting For Has Been Posted
Please look at our new essay writing and new MBE programs at www.barprofessors.com or click on our logo to the left.
Missouri has released its bar exam results for July 2013. The pass rate is 88.6%. The pass rate for first time takers was 90.5%. The pass rate for second time takers was 46.7. The pass rate for third time takers was 33.3%.
Missouri is an UBE state. The range of UBE totals are from 204 to 355. The MBE range is from 99.3 to 182.9. The essay range is from 95.6 to 182.
Interestingly, is the MBE information coming out of Missouri. For first time takers, the MBE average was 146.89. For second time takers, the MBE average was 129.05. For the third time takers, the MBE average was 126.43. The total average was 146.01.
The Average Raw Score Per MBE Subject Matter was:
Const Law. 21.27 out of 33 questions
Criminal Law/Pro: 21.91 out of 33 questions
Evidence: 19.88 out of 33 questions
Torts: 23.13 out of 34 questions
Contracts: 21.03 out of 34 questions
Property: 20.68 out of 33 questions
It appears that Evidence was the hardest subject on the MBE this time around.
Totaling the 6 MBE subjects, the average raw score in Missouri on the MBE was a 127.8. The average scaled MBE was a 146.01. That means the curve for the average person was 18 points.
For the UBE essays:
Essay 1 (Fed.Civil Pro): 5.68 out of 12 points
Essay 2 (Agency and Torts): 5.90 out of 12 points
Essay 3 (Evidence): 4.60 out of 12 points
Essay 4 (Corporations): 4.98 out of 12 points
Essay 5 (Contracts): 4.32 out of 12 points
Essay 6 (Estates): 3.99 out of 12 points
MPT 1: 6.17 out of 12 points
MPT 2: 6.93 out of 12 points
It appears that the Estates questions was the toughest out of all the essays.
Congratulations to those who have passed Missouri. A job well done.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Washington has Released its Bar Exam Results
Please look at our new essay writing and new MBE programs at www.barprofessors.com or click on our logo to the left.
Bar examination results for the July 2013 bar exam from Washington were released. Of the 857 candidates who took the July 2013 Bar Exam, 727 candidates passed the exam. The pass rate was 85%. The pass list has been posted on Washington’s bar examiners’ website.
Summer 2013 was Washington’s first administration of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE); therefore no applicants were considered “repeating applicants” even if they had previously sat for, and failed, the bar exam in Washington. For statistical purposes, all applicants were considered first time test takers; therefore the pass rate for “first time test takers” is the same as the “overall pass rate”.
The average UBE score total was 299.00.
Congratulations to those who passed the Washington bar exam.
