@barron’s: Not a fair comparison unless comparing bar exam results between the two law schools on a state by state basis. California, for example, has the third hardest bar exam in the nation, while the Virginia state bar exam does not rank in the top 10 in the US.
One of the most common misconceptions is that the New York state bar is very difficult when, in fact, it is only the 33rd most difficult out of 50 or 51 jurisdictions.
