The American Bar Association overhauled the way it reports law school bar pass rates this year in a bid to get that information to the public faster and make it easier to compare data.

On the state-by-state rankings, Florida placed very low. Including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, Florida is seventh from the bottom with a statewide passing rate of 67.9 percent. Puerto Rico sits in the cellar with no close competition at 40.25 percent, followed by Mississippi at 63.95 percent.
