Yes, actually, a 100% bar pass rate IS a big deal...


The more I ponder the 100% bar pass rate (37 of 37) Baylor students achieved on the February bar, the more impressed I am with the people I have the honor to teach.

A 100% pass rate is a rare thing-- it means that every person, the superstars and those who struggled, have to focus hard and lay it all on the line for three days of testing. If you don't believe it is a rare and good thing, check out this chart from the Texas Board of Law Examiners-- no school has gotten a 100% for first-time takers since 2003. That means that for the past seven tests, none of the nine schools have achieved this-- 62 chances and no one has done it. The chart also shows how Baylor consistently has done well, and usually best, each time the exam is given.

If you want more stats, check out the chart, showing that a 100% rate was achieved only once by any school in the years 1991-2002-- over 200 possibilies.

I hope those who passed the bar know how proud we are of them, and appreciate their hard work.

[Thanks to Mr. Raymond Puckett, for tipping me off to the fact that there were such statistics on the net. He is also very talented at A/V related matters.]

It's true, we July'ers have a lot to live up to. But, we can always use Wookie strategy, if all else fails...

You know, pull people's arms out of their sockets if we lose.
 
Also, in 2003, when SMU achieved 100%, there were only 5 people who took the exam from that school, and so while that is still great, it isn't 37!
 
WOW!! that really is a huge deal!!!

I know a lot of people have a hard time passing on the first time...

that is really great... I think a lot of the Osler Razor people are on vacation.

That is okay less people who have to listen to me WHINE
 
The Gatos are very pleased.
 
What doesn't the great and powerful Puck know?
 
Congratulations to you all! That's amazing!

And Tyd, don't worry; you're not whining. Keep on telling us what's happening.
