July 2011 DC Bar Exam Results

The July 2011 DC bar exam results were released just before Halloween (October 27, 2011).

96 passed out of 208 that took the exam in July. That translates to a 46% overall pass rate (64% pass rate for first-time takers).

I had a post writen the day after the results were released but got some strange error that caused me to lose it and I was too lazy to recreate it that day. Oh well!

The highlights for the July exam that I did not post after the exam:

Essay topics for July 2011 DC bar exam:
