Oak Brook baby bar pass rate

Finally OBCL posts its updated baby bar pass rate.

I noticed that somehow the number of its
baby-bar-taking-student becomes smaller and
smaller over the years.

Why? No many students enrolled?

 

An interesting observation, Jonathan. Perhaps they are doing what Concord said it would be doing: discouraging (or even forbidding) people they feel aren't ready from taking the exam. Or perhaps there is a limited number of Evangelical Christians with the interest, time, money, and ability to pursue a law degree.

 

Maybe. However, Concord can put those not-ready students into its non-bar ex-JD section. Either way, Concord makes money. But the student has a time limit to take the baby bar. If he/she can not pass it in the first two years, he/she has no chance to take the final bar exam.

 

It is my understanding that an applicant has three chances to pass the Baby Bar, and receive credit for all previous law study. If an applicant passes on the 4th or subsequent attempts, only one year of credit is awarded.

I know of several persons who failed the Baby Bar several times who switched to the "non-bar JD" track. The value of such a degree, I suspect, is simply personal satisfaction.
