Belmont Law students earned the school a top 10 ranking for bar passage performance on the most recent exam, according to figures released by the American Bar Association. The school’s 96.25% passage rate for first time takers left it number six on the list headed by Harvard University, with a 98.93% rate. (The University of Wisconsin Law School and Marquette University Law School appear at the top of the ABA’s first-time bar pass rate list, but graduates of those schools do not have to sit for the bar exam in Wisconsin due to the state’s unique diploma privilege system, Law.com reports.) Vanderbilt University scored a number 12 rating, while the University of Tennessee College of Law was rated number 64 and Memphis Law was rated 104.
