Written by Norton Gappy

The spring 2008 bar exam pass/fail results have been published and Legalnut.com has compiled the top 50 law school ranking based on the pass rate of the spring 2008 bar exam. Summer 2008 bar exam has been administered, but the exam results are due later this year. Also, please note that there are usually fewer first time test takers sitting for the spring bar exam compared to the summer bar exam.
