On a seldomn personal note, I have passed the California February Bar Examination on the first try a semester early. My name "appears on the pass list." The overall pass rate for February was around 40% which is not even close to a fair representation since the pass rate of a first-time taker from an ABA Accredited California law school is 62%. The pass rate goes down from there: ABA non-california, non-ABA, unaccredited, first-timers, second-timers, etc.

If you are making the journey this July or have received good (or bad news) yesterday from California or earlier in other states, let me know in the comments.
