DC released their results a couple weeks ago the the pass list is publicly available here. 162 people passed out of 384 total takers for a pass rate of 42%. A bit lower than expected, at less than half. A big congratulations to those that passed! The last minute change of venue was certainly not ideal but not unexpected.
In other news, Nevada will not be using the MBE starting with this July 2022 bar exams. Due to covid, some past exams did not include the MBE but now it’s official moving forward, the MBE is dead in Nevada. For those interested, the full text of the court’s order is here. Will be interesting to see when other states follow suit and how the NCBE responds. At this point, it’s 50/50 in my eyes whether the NCBE will end up ditching the MBE for something else or keeping it and adding more subjects.
Congratulations again to all the newly minted attorneys! Very proud of your hard work and persistence. For those who did not pass, take advantage of the essay review and modify your plan for the July exam. Take care!
