Following up on my previous posts:
The current 2023-24 methodology is:
Bar passage rate for first-time test-takers (0.18, previously 0.03): For the second consecutive year, U.S. News used its treatment of bar passage rates to incorporate all graduates who took the bar for the first time. Computations were again modified to de-emphasize the impact of geography on law schools’ relative performance.
Specifically, the bar passage rate indicator scored schools on their 2021 first-time test-takers’ weighted bar passage rates among all jurisdictions (states), then added or subtracted the percentage point difference between those rates and the weighted state average among ABA accredited schools’ first-time test-takers in the corresponding jurisdictions in 2021. This meant schools that performed best on this ranking factor graduated students whose bar passage rates were both higher than most schools overall and higher compared with what was typical among graduates who took the bar in corresponding jurisdictions.
For example, if a fictional law school in upstate New York graduated 100 students who first took the bar exam – and 79 took the New York exam, 18 the Massachusetts exam and three the Vermont exam – the school’s weighted average rate would use pass rate results that were weighted 79% for New York, 18% for Massachusetts and 3% for Vermont. This computation would then be compared with an index of these jurisdictions’ average pass rates – also weighted 79-18-3. (For privacy, school profiles on usnews.com only display bar passage data for jurisdictions with at least 10 test-takers.) Both weighted averages included any graduates who passed the bar with diploma privilege. Diploma privilege is a method for J.D. graduates to be admitted to a state bar and allowed to practice law in that state without taking that state’s actual bar examination. Diploma privilege is generally based on attending and graduating from a law school in that state with the diploma privilege.
Below are two first-time bar passage rankings. The first is a ranking by the school pass rate for the 2022 calendar year plus the total difference between the school pass rate and the average state pass rate as reported by the ABA. The second uses Z-scores to better approximate the U.S. News methodology.
