<p>Even a 90% pass rate on any bar is excellent. 100% is astounding, and I am not discounting their achievement. However, with this said, it is almost irrelevant. Every person I know in law school passed the bar eventually, All you have to do is to take a good bar review course.</p>
<p>I would bet what Liberty is doing is becoming a giant bar review course by requriring a lot of courses that apply to the bar exam and giving a lot of bar review questions in each course. </p>
<p>The problem with both these strategies is that: first, a lot of requirements reduce the courses and skills that someone might want to really have. Secondly, bar review questions don’t really develop legal thinking well, as strange as that may sound. </p>
<p>To be honest, when evaluating law schools, I usually look at factors other than bar review passage rates.</p>
<p>As for Liberty’s median 150 LSAT vs. other schools in Virginia, there may be a slight corelation between the LSAT and law school performance and bar passage, but it is slight. When I checked a year ago, it was a .2 corelation from 0-1. Putting this in perspective a 1.0 is the best correlation that you can have, thus, .2 is just a slight corelation. This is hidden well since the LSAT counts so highly in the rankings so law schools tend to overlook this lack of corelation of the LSAT.</p>
