UH cracks 90% bar passage rate!

On Friday, Dean Nimmer sent out an e-mail announcing bar passage rate for first-time takers who sat for the exam this summer. The results were very positive for UHLC.

	Took	Passed	Pass Rate
BAYLOR	94	92	97.87%
UH LAW CENTER	239	216	90.38%
S.M.U.	222	200	90.09%
UT	353	318	90.08%
T.W.U.	141	124	87.94%
TEXAS TECH	174	152	87.36%
ST. MARY'S	203	171	84.24%
SOUTH TEXAS	280	230	82.14%
T.S.U.	122	69	56.56%

Following these numbers, Dean Nimmer went on to state:

Statistics are sometimes shaped by people who either acquire or disseminate them, and I decline to play that game. I share these numbers only to emphasize two points. First, the Law Center is a great school with excellent teachers and terrific students. And second, because we’re so good, we should aim for a pass rate of 100% on the Texas Bar Exam. That’s how I see my role: to constantly raise the bar in our pursuit of excellence.

Yeah, 100% is the dream, but 90% is pretty cool. Congratulations to our 2006 graduating class.
