Would love to know their bar passing rates.

The school looks like it has been named the "Thurgood Marshall School of Law" (he was still alive when I did my original study), and the numbers have risen to "mediocre" status with most admissions scoring between 140-155 on the current 120-180 point scale, with 150 being "average". Interstingly, the highest LSAT scores do not really correspond to the highest college GPAs.

Current Bar passage rate is 58%

The school stil " seeks to provide a legal education and an opportunity to students [. . .] who otherwise would not have an opportunity for legal training. "

Fifty eight percent first time bar pass rate is pretty good. They’re rigged for a high fail rate to keep lawyers’ fees up there.

If I recall correctly, when I took the California bar in the 1990s, the first time pass rate was below 58%. (I passed the first time).
