Yes their bar passage rate went up to 85%, wow!
Look I'm giving my opinion based on my knowledge that's not just made up. If you don't agree with me it's fine, but there's no need to call me ignorant when I have just as much of a case as you do.

Class of '09 First-Time Test-Takers Passed at a 95 Percent Rate
East Lansing, MI –
Michigan State University College of Law recently announced the passage rate of Spring 2009 graduates who took the Michigan Bar examination for the first time in July. Reported results show 95 percent of MSU Law Spring '09 graduates passed the Michigan Bar examination (before appeals), which was the highest passage rate among law schools in Michigan, and well above the state's 88 percent average.
"The College is extremely pleased with this high bar passage rate," Dean Joan Howarth said. "These results affirm the credentials and work ethic of our students, the academic rigor of our program, and the dedication of our faculty. It also indicates that the Class of '09 will have an exciting future as they enter the legal profession."
Comprehensive results from other states across the country have not been released at this time. However, for the 31 first-time test takers in the state of Illinois, 100 percent of MSU Law graduates passed. In addition to Illinois, 100 percent of '09 graduates passed the following state bar examinations: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin. They will be practicing in many specialty areas such as intellectual property, corporate law, trial practice, alternative dispute resolution, international law, public interest law, and health law.
just food for thought...i'm not advocating for attending MSU, as i will not be going back to michigan with the economy the way it is. no school guarantees work after graduation...
