At 12 of New York’s 15 law schools, a lower percentage of graduates passed the bar exam in July than their classmates a year earlier. Here’s what the deans of some of those schools had to say about the scores.
“The faculty and I have been implementing extensive reforms involving changes in the classroom, curriculum and culture of the school. We expect these changes to be reflected favorably in future results. Some of the changes are still being implemented. We intend to accelerate their implementation effective immediately. We will be re-examining in minutest detail everything we do, in and outside of the classroom, to assure that the continued implementation of reforms, from evidence-based teaching to curricular reform, is successful.” Harry Ballan, dean of Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center
