More than 78% of law students (1,687 total) taking the Florida Bar[1] for the first time passed in July.
That’s way up from the 64% passage rate during February.
And the numbers were even better for some schools. The University of Florida’s Levin College of Law[2] set a torrid pace with 92.8% of the 138 people taking the test for the first time passing.
Other schools had numbers worth bragging about as well. Jacksonville University’s[3] College of Law had 91.7% of its first-timers getting through the test, albeit with a small sample size of 12 sitting for the Bar, meaning just one Dolphin didn’t make it safely through the net.
At Florida International’s[4] College of Law, 89.3% of first-time test takers passed. And at Florida State, 88.5% got through.
More than 86% of the inaugural Bar participants at St. Thomas, Stetson and the University of Miami’s[5] School of Law also were successful.
Other schools, such as Ave Maria, Barry University, Cooley Law School, Florida A&M and Nova Southeastern were below the state average to varying degrees.
The Florida Supreme Court approved 1,797 candidates for admission to the Florida Bar. Per the Bar, they may be sworn in as lawyers.
