Good Lord, And You Thought Your Law School’s Bar Exam Passage Rate Was Terrible

This is simply awful.

Ye olde bar exam.

Litchfield Law School is the most famous law school you’ve likely never heard of. Before the school was officially known as Litchfield Law, how many of its very first graduates were able to pass the bar exam?

Hint: Considering the fact that Litchfield’s alumni include two U.S. Vice Presidents, 101 congressmen, 28 senators, six cabinet secretaries, three justices of the United States Supreme Court, 14 state governors, and 13 state supreme court chief justices, this bar passage rate is rather abysmal.
