According to the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, Florida State University graduates, for the fifth time in the past eight administrations of the Florida bar exam, have led the state in pass rates for the July 2009 exam at 91.4%.  Graduates from Florida’s other two top law schools, the University of Miami and the University of Florida, posted pass rates of 83.9% and 86.3% respectively.  Graduates from four other Florida schools posted rates of 80% or higher – Stetson University, Nova Southeastern University, Florida Coastal, and Florida International University.  The average pass rate for graduates of all schools – based in Florida and otherwise – was 80%.  Graduates from non-Florida law schools posted a pass rate of 75.2%. 

Please note that the July 2009 Florida bar exam statistics above reflect pass rates for first time takers only.

As many of you know, Florida just released its results from the July 2009 exam.  For the sake of those of you who sat for that exam, let’s hope that the results are more favorable than those released six months ago for the February exam….  Last spring, Florida bar takers from the state’s top three schools – University of Miami, University of Florida, and Florida State University – experienced a 20% + point drop in pass rate from the July 2008 exam.  Many have stated that the discrepancy arose from the state testing subjects deemed to be fair game in the rules, but not tested on prior exams. 

For you July bar takers out there…  What were your impressions of the exam?  Did your law school experience prepare you?  How did the July exam differ from February? Share your thoughts below in the comments…..
