Most ranking sites report raw bar passage percentages — but a 75% pass rate means something very different in a state where the average is 65% versus one where it's 85%. Atlas Legis shows each school's pass rate relative to its own state's average, surfacing which schools are genuinely preparing their graduates well versus simply benefiting from easier state bars.
A school with a +15% delta is sending graduates into the bar exam significantly better prepared than their peers. A school at −12% is a signal worth investigating before you enroll. This comparison is derived directly from ABA 509 Required Disclosures for the Class of 2024 — the most recent year available.
About state averages: State bar passage averages include all first-time takers from all schools — not just ABA-accredited graduates. A school's delta reflects performance relative to that broader pool. Some states have historically higher or lower pass rates, which is why the relative comparison matters more than the raw number alone.
Data source: ABA First-Time Bar Passage Reports, Class of 2024. Schools with fewer than 10 first-time takers may show higher variance. Always verify directly with the school.
