Thomas Jefferson School of Law Believes Its 2011 Graduates To Be Kind of Stupid
Much to the ABA's embarrassment, Thomas Jefferson School of Law released some papers to reassure students that even with a 33% first time bar passage rate (and an incomprehensible 13% pass rate for returning test takers), TJSL was still well within ABA parameters.
