This percentage reflects how the law school’s graduates performed across all jurisdictions where they took the bar examination for the first time.  \n• Weighted Average Bar Pass Rate. This percentage is the average pass rate for graduates from Council accredited law schools for each jurisdiction in which the law school’s graduates sat for the bar exam. 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 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• Difference in Bar Pass Rate. This percentage 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 Council-accredited law schools on the bar exam in those same jurisdictions.  \n• Jurisdictional Information. This section breaks down first-time bar pass rates by jurisdiction and compares a law school’s graduates’ pass rate to the average pass rate of all takers from Council-accredited law school","cbCaikiELrmPqcVg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikiELrmPqcVg","pdf",875064,"English","# First-Time Bar Admission\n## Key Metrics and Definitions\n# Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission\n## Standard 316 and Admission Outcomes\n# Alternative Pathways to Licensure\n## Types and Reporting Notes","[{\"question\":\"What does the First-Time Bar Admission pass rate measure?\",\"answer\":\"It reflects how the law school’s graduates performed across all jurisdictions where they took the bar examination for the first time.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Weighted Average Bar Pass Rate calculated?\",\"answer\":\"It averages pass rates for graduates from Council-accredited law schools in each jurisdiction, weighted so jurisdictions with more test-takers have greater impact.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the two-year ultimate bar admission standard and how is it used?\",\"answer\":\"It follows Standard 316, which requires that at least 75% of a law school’s graduates in a calendar year who sat for a bar exam must have passed within two years of their graduation date.\"}]","Loyola University Chicago School of Law-2026 - First-Time Bar Admission & Two-Year Ultimate Bar Admission | PDF",1789958244]
