http://www.dcbar.org/for_lawyers/membership/current_members/examResults.cfm

The results are as follows:

A 72% pass rate for first time takers
A 53% overall pass rate for all takers (155 successful applicants out of a total 293 applicants)

No big surprises on the exam itself or the results… If you passed, congratulations!! If not, don’t fret, register for the Feb 2009 bar exam and study some more and you’ll be sure to pass…

Another reminder that December 15, 2009 is the deadline for registering for the February 2009 DC Bar Exam, with December 30, 2009 being the late filing deadline.

Finally, the MPRE is coming up next Saturday. Good luck to all those sitting for it. If you can, put in a full week of study and ace it… Otherwise, I recommend 3 full days minimum study… Good luck!

Hi, thanks so much for all of this information!

I’m planning on taking the Feb 2010 DC exam, transferring my MBE score from another jurisdiction. So I only need to prepare for the essays. Do you know whether Admin Law and Tax Law are tested on the MEEs? Some DC bar prep websites say that they are, while others don’t.

Thanks!

Neither. The subjects tested on the MEEs are:

Agency and Partnership
Evidence
Decedents’ Estates
Real Property
Federal Civil Procedure and Conflict of Laws
Negotiable Instruments (Commercial Paper)
Torts
Family Law
Corporations

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your awesome blog. I passed the July 2009 DC Bar exam and I used your blog as a guide for my study schedule. Thanks again!
