We put all schools on the following chart by plotting tuition change between 2010 and 2014 against Bar Passage Rates in 2013. For public schools, we use resident tuition. Keep in mind that bar passage rates from 2013 reflect students who entered in 2010.
Click on a group in the legend to hide/show all schools in the group.
We use normal averages rather than weighted averages on this page. Keep in mind that bar passage rates from 2013 reflect students who entered in 2010.
