The American Bar Association committee revising law school accreditation standards is considering a new rule that would require at least 80% of a school’s graduates to pass the bar within 2 years of graduation.

The existing standard requires that 75% of a school’s graduates who took the bar in at least 3 of the past 5 years have passed, or that the first-time bar passage rate be no more than 15 points below the average pass rate for schools in states where its graduates took the bar.
