We already know the general trend of California bar exam results this year (up, after an abysmal 2018), but now we’ve got a breakdown revealing just how each law school’s graduates faired on the exam.

There’s lots of good news. 100 percent of test takers from Duke Law and University of Chicago Law School passed the Cali bar. Harvard Law School and University of Michigan Law School had a 97 percent pass rate, and New York University School of Law clocked in 96 percent, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the University of Virginia School of Law had a 95 percent rate, Stanford at 92 percentage passage, Columbia Law at 93 percent passage, and Yale Law had 91 percent pass the exam.

As you can see, Stanford is the only California law school that cracked 90 percent, but Berkeley (89 percent) and UCLA (88 percent) also had noteworthy showings.

And all law schools did as well or better than the results of the 2018 bar exam. The biggest jump, amongst California law schools are University of California, Hastings College of Law, from 60 percent to 79 percent; Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law from 66 percent to 82 percent; and the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law from 50 percent to 63 percent.

Congrats to everyone who passed, and check out the full results below.
