This number is weighted so that bar pass rates from jurisdictions where more of the Law School’s graduates sat for the bar exam have a greater impact on the ABA weighted average bar pass rate than bar pass rates from jurisdictions where fewer of the Law School’s graduates sat for the bar exam.  \n****The difference between the Law School pass rate and the ABA weighted average bar pass rate compares the performance of the Law School’s graduates on the bar exam in all jurisdictions where they took the bar exam for the first time with the performance of graduates from all ABA-accredited law schools on the bar exam in those same jurisdictions.  \n***** Starting with the 2025 Bar Admission Outcome report, graduates pursuing alternative pathways to bar licensure were no longer reported both in the category with graduates who did not take a bar exam and in the category of graduates admitted via alternative pathways. This change is reflected for 2024 graduates in the First-Time Bar Admission table, but does not impact the Total First-Time Bar Admission Rate.  \nDetails 2024:  \n\n| Jurisdiction | Takers | Passers | Pass % | State Pass % for ABA approved law schools | Difference |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| NEW YORK | 194 | 146 | 75.26% | 86.30% | -11.04% |\n| 7 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 12 | 7 | 58.33% | 74.48% | -16.15% |\n\nDetails 2023:  \n\n| Jurisdiction | Takers | Passers | Pass % | State Pass % for ABA approved law schools | Difference |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| NEW YORK | 144 | 118 | 81.94% | 82.96% | -1.02% |\n| 10 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 12 | 10 | 83.33% | 73.57% | 9.76% |\n\nDetails 2022:  \n\n| Jurisdiction | Takers | Passers | Pass % | State Pass % for ABA approved law schools | Difference |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| NEW YORK | 155 | 109 | 70.32% | 82.69% | -12.37% |\n| 5 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 6 | 5 | 83.33% | 73.41% | 9.92% |\n\nTwo-Year Ultimate Bar Admission  \n\n| Calendar year of graduation | Total graduates in calendar year | \\# of grads with no info | \\# who did not take a bar | Graduates who sat for a bar exam within two years of their date of graduation |  |  | Graduates who have been admitted via an alternative pathway to licensure* | Ultimate Bar Admission Rate Total %(incl. alternative\u003Cbr>pathways) |\n| --- | ---","cbCaijZ1zl2XEe72","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijZ1zl2XEe72","pdf",615930,"English","# First-Time Bar Admission\n## Calendar-Year Summary (2024-2022)\n## Jurisdiction Details 2024\n## Jurisdiction Details 2023\n## Jurisdiction Details 2022\n# Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission\n## Calendar-Year Summary (2022-2020)","[{\"question\":\"What does the report measure under First-Time Bar Admission?\",\"answer\":\"It compares graduates by calendar-year graduation and reports taker/pass counts, the law school pass rate, the ABA weighted average bar pass rate, and the difference between them across jurisdictions where graduates took the bar the first time.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the ABA weighted average bar pass rate and the difference calculated?\",\"answer\":\"The ABA weighted average aggregates pass rates by jurisdiction for ABA-accredited law schools, weighting jurisdictions where more Albany Law School graduates sat.
