    On the most recent California Bar the overall pass rate was 34%. Online and correspondence law schools stacked up pretty well at 18% and 26% equivalent to fixed facility non ABA schools (accredited 18% and unaccredited 25%). If the trend continues that means distance learning is finally the equivalent of a non ABA fixed facility law school, a major development in my opinion.

    I tried, without success, to find the pass rates by school. Is that available, do we know? (Thanks.)

    No break down by school but I'd assume most of the correspondence takers were from Taft.

    Looks as though this information is going to be harder and harder to come by in the future:

    Almost certainly a buereaucratic reaction to California Business and Professions Code §6060.25 mentioned in the article and not an intent to conceal data.
