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| OHIO | 112 | 80 | 71.43% | 80.59% | -9.16% |\n| 10 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 17 | 13 | 76.47% | 78.71% | -2.24% |\n\nDetails 2023:  \n\n| Jurisdiction | Takers | Passers | Pass % | State Pass % for ABA approved law schools | Difference |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| OHIO | 111 | 81 | 72.97% | 77.32% | -4.35% |\n| 8 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 9 | 6 | 66.67% | 74.81% | -8.14% |\n\nDetails 2022:  \n\n| Jurisdiction | Takers | Passers | Pass % | State Pass % for ABA approved law schools | Difference |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| OHIO | 98 | 73 | 74.49% | 78.70% | -4.21% |\n| 8 REMAINING JURISDICTIONS | 13 | 9 | 69.23% | 74.62% | -5.39% |\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 pathways) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --","cbCaiiZuZdoawqpB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiZuZdoawqpB","pdf",600476,"English","# First-Time Bar Admission\n## Calendar-year performance\n## Jurisdiction details\n# Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission\n## Graduation-year performance\n## Notes on alternative pathways","[{\"question\":\"What does the First-Time Bar Admission table report for each graduation year?\",\"answer\":\"It reports the number of graduates, counts of first-time bar takers and those who passed, the law school pass rate, the ABA weighted average pass rate, and the difference between them, along with first-time bar admission totals including alternative pathways where applicable.\"},{\"question\":\"How are jurisdiction results presented in the “Details” sections?\",\"answer\":\"Jurisdiction details list takers, passers, pass percentage, the state pass percentage for ABA approved law schools, and the difference for Ohio and the remaining jurisdictions grouped together.\"},{\"question\":\"What is covered in the Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission section?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes total graduates by calendar year, how many did not take a bar exam, the number and pass rate of graduates who sat for a bar exam within two years, and the ultimate bar admission rate total including alternative pathways.\"}]","First-Time Bar Admission - Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission | PDF",1789959852]
