Bar statistics dating back to February 2011, based on figures quoted by the state bar associations and the NCBE.
Some states adapt their scores after initial publication in the annual NCBE report. I update the maps annually after the NCBE report is published. Until that time, the previous year (e.g. 2019 at present) is based on initial reports and may change.
*Please note I collect these statistics, but there may be mistakes in some areas. For example, I may calculate the scores myself based on number of pass or fail posted.
