The following low schools have the lowest two year bar passage rate in the country (from lowest to higher), and all have two year bar passage rates under 80% in the class of 2015 graduates.
While lenient admissions standards gives some students a chance at a better career, admitting someone to law school and graduating them, complete with massive loads of law school debt, when that person isn't capable of passing the bar exam, does that student no favors. And, plenty of people who only barely pass the bar exam aren't good lawyers.
Also, students at these schools often leave with large amounts of non-dischargeable in bankruptcy student loan debt. Perhaps we need a compromise position by which students with student loan debt from a degree that they do not earn, or to prepare them for a profession where they can't manage to become professionally licensed can get at least 50% of the original student loan debt amount discharged in bankruptcy, five to ten years or so after the debt enters repayment status.
