NJ bar exam results reveal worst passage rates in a decade.... http://abovethelaw.com/2016/10/yikes-ne ... -a-decade/

This doesn't help.

Mind you this is overall pass rate ATL is talking about. In addition, this is for non-UBE scores. As for NY wanting to be a leader, let's keep in mind we have a situation where this is the first administration and we ask if NY isn't going to be a little more liberal if they want the UBE to catch on, do they want this to be as a fail by people bombing? I agree they'll be more stringent in the future but perhaps we may get a little more lucky.

Do you honestly think NY is going to pass people who would have otherwise failed so people can get on board with the UBE or are you just saying something like this to calm yourself down?

This came from a Dean as well as a bar review company director...so not my thoughts entirely.

Yeah. This. NY pass more attorneys so the UBE catches on? 0 chance. NY adopted it, everyone else is following suit, whether or not the passage rate plummets.

I think it's clear NY had more than their share of say when it came to the essays. First time a hybrid question thrown into the mix? Questions with up to 5 maybe even 6 sub questions? That has NY BOLE written all over it.

Lol, ok, so a Dean who was involved in the adoption is full of shit...nice. We will see.

That evidence question was quite tempting but recall it did prompt you with "Federal Rules of Evidence" which may have been a signal...maybe a trap.

ok so just to be clear, there is no precedent of 5pm release?

[zoomzoom88]

at times Feb releases have been at 5pm.

Feb. 2015 was the only 5pm release as far as I know

[TLSaul2001]

February 2015 was a 5pm release. Worst part was being resigned to it coming out at midnight so was checking my e-mail nonchalantly after work and it just came out of nowhere. Hit me like a bus.

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

ANOTHER SURVEY?!?

[rkreymer]

I just received another survey....

[melurkherelongtime]

I just received another survey....

same

[didntretake]

I also got the survey. I never submitted the first one so I'm assuming that's why.

I did the first one and got this one.

Not to fear, here in the July 2016 thread we know to check our e-mail at 5pm, then TLS around 10:30pm for a NYLJ announcement, and then our e-mail against at midnight.

[MrT]

lol

[Ibanez]

I submitted the first one. Still got another one.

[rkreymer]

OK, it says "if you have already completed the survey we thank you for your participation and you may ignore this message." I guess this proves an interesting debate

[hockeyman969]

Survey again?????? BOLE you big tease.

[tonyb486]

I submitted the first one last week, and I got another survey email just now. Computers are hard - we should probably stop reading into this so much.

[amsong]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

[rkreymer]

wonder if they are waiting for a certain percentage of surveys submitted before releasing the scores.

[MrT]

Maybe they are testing our email addresses. Too many mailer-daemons last time so they held back the results.

This is pretty hilarious at this point.

[CaptainLeela]

Welcome to TLS

[SureAndCertain]

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THE SURVEY WHEN WE DON'T HAVE OUR SCORES.
