Florida Bar Pass Rates 2010

By Professor University of Miami School of Law

Since I posted bar pass data in the last two years, I'll do it again:

Florida, 86.8%
Florida State, 86.2 %
Miami, 86.0%
Florida International, 84.2%
Nova Southeastern, 80.8%

AVERAGE OF ALL LAW SCHOOLS, 79.2%

Stetson, 78.8%
Florida Coastal, 78.8%
St. Thomas, 78.7%
Barry, 74.7%

AVERAGE OF NON-FLORIDA LAW SCHOOLS, 74.0%

Ave Maria, 64.0%
Florida A&M, 62.5%

Note that the top three schools are less than 1% apart. Note also that results are not as meaningful as they may seem, since they don't tell you how many graduate took out-of-state bar exams, nor how they did. Not to mention a whole bunch of other reasons.
