Florida Bar Exam Results
We trumpeted the terrible performance turned in by the state of Florida on the February bar exam. So it’s only fair that we give you sunshine staters a chance to talk about the July bar exam. Theresults were posted today.Bar results are out, all three major Florida college football teams are ranked in the Top 25, it’s shaping up to be a pretty good week down there.
Bar Exam Results [Florida Supreme Court]
What's Up with the Flori-duh February Bar Exam?
The Florida Bar Exam results are out, and they're not pretty for some of the top Flori-duh law schools. [FN1]Law School Headlines asks "What happened on the February 2009 Florida Bar?" noting the abysmal performance by graduates of University of Florida, FSU, and University of Miami. Their passage rates dropped from percentages in the high 80s and 90s on the July exam to 64.9%, 65.0% and 61.1%, respectively. Here's the press release [PDF].
Did exam takers spend too much time on the beach, and not enough time at BarBri classes?
A representative from the Florida Board of Bar Examiners wouldn't comment on the problems the graduates of these schools had. She did note though that the rate of passage for first-time test takers is consistent with years past (around seventy percent), and that February exam takers (as opposed to July testers) are a "different group of people." They tend to be non-traditional students, who didn't do the whole "enroll in the fall, graduate in three years, take the bar exam in July…"-and-then-pass thing.
But FSU had the highest passage rate among Florida schools on last year's February exam, as well the July 2007 and July 2006 exams. FSU College of Law Dean Donald Weidner toldTallahassee.com, "It's disappointing and puzzling."
It's also unusual. See passage rates from previous years, after the jump.
Here are passage rates for past years, as sent to us by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners:
- University of Florida: February 2007 – 83.3%; February 2008 – 88.3%; February 2009 – 64.9%
- Florida State University: February 2007 – 88.2%; February 2008 – 93.6%; February 2009 – 65.0%
- University of Miami: February 2007 – 76.9% ; February 2008 – 78.9%; February 2009 – 61.1%
[FN1: Hat tip to Randazza at The Legal Satyricon for "Flori-duh," a beat he covers with much regularity.]
FSU puzzled by state bar exam results; Florida, Miami passing rates also low [Tallahassee.com]

Its days like this I hate my dog…
Raining and muddy and of course she wants her daily affirmation that I love her beyond beyond as soon as we get inside. Got home close to 3am, but she goes out at 7am, and I have a meeting at 11am, then cooper young fest then UT game at 2:30pm, then memphis game at 7pm. Its close to 9:45am. I should be asleep right now. But instead I’m loving on my pup. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Herenton is an embarrassment to Memphis : NYT : Racial Bid TN Congress Seat
So basically he’s saying its about being black and not representing the black people. I might as well close up shop then if that’s true. Apparently since I’m Indian I’m not qualified to represent any of my clients in criminal court, white, black, Hispanic, or other… My entire case load save for one Indian. BTW. My dog barked at Mr. Herenton the other day. Now there’s a comment on race if you want one. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -

I remember where I was 9/11/2001
Walking down the hallway of the 4th floor Greve Hall, one of my sorority sisters walked out in the hall and said, “someone just bombed the World Trade Center.” This was somewhere before my 9:00am Accounting class. We all talked about it through our class, so ended class early, and then as I got home, and saw a crowd around the TV of the common room. Stopped in just to watch the 2nd plane crash just before my 11am class, Philosophy of Law, I decided that I there just was no way I could believe in the philosophy of law after seeing that… Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

I’m a little annoyed that I paid $125 for ArtsMemphis : Bravo Memphis double membership when it costs $99 today
I paid $125 for my double membership that was supposed to be a “one night only” discount for the $145 price. First they extended the special price for another week. Now they’re having a “one day only” 9/9/09 price of $99. I think I want a refund. www.artsmemphis.org

Cheap Legal Advice – “he probably stole the idea from that simpsons episode where homer asks everyone to send him $1.”
This is too good Prosecution side? Didn’t know it was illegal? Seriously? Is he a first year who hasn’t read his assigned reading for the first day of class? The best comment on the follow-up article:
“business sense? he probably stole the idea from that simpsons episode where homer asks everyone to send him $1.”
