Join us in celebrating CLARA's very own Dr. Jade Caines Lee who is the recipient of a National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) 2024 Validity and Fairness Research Award. Her proposal, titled The HBCU Effect: Examining Factors Related to First-Time Bar Passage for HBCU Law School Alumni, focuses on the effects that graduate institution type (HBCU vs. non-HBCU) has on bar passage rates. The findings may better inform and empower HBCUs and their collaborative partners (e.g., law schools, law firms, and other business/professional entities).

Oh, this is just WILD and NOT an SNL skit!!
Rep. Jasmine Crockett started listing off all her "accomplishments" during a hearing. So let's examine them, shall we?
According to one report: "The honorary degree she boasts about is from an HBCU that once lost its accreditation, has 380 students and an 87% acceptance rate, and is ranked 1,745th in the country.
The law degree she holds is from a third-tier law school."
Watch her "testimony", do your own research and then weigh in - is this report true?
REPOST for exposure!

Blackness + Qualification =? Denial?or qualified? Let's discuss?
How i view this is its a complex and nuanced issue. While it is important to strive for diversity and equal representation, merit and qualifications should be the primary factors in decision-making. It is crucial to create a fair and inclusive environment where individuals are judged based on their skills, abilities, and experience, rather than their gender or race. However, it is also important to acknowledge and address any systemic barriers or biases that may exist, and take proactive measures to promote diversity and inclusivity. The goal should be to create a level playing field where everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and succeed.

A number of U.S. law schools faced criticism for admitting students into their J.D. programs who were unlikely to pass the bar exams. Over the last decade, many of those schools closed, merged, switched from ABA accreditation, or changed their admissions policies and/or bar exam support. But what about LL.M. students? My next big focus on my Beyond Non-JD blog: LL.M. students and state bar exams. Look out for more starting in July!
One easy fix: for state bars to release LL.M. pass rates by school. A quick way to change admissions processes *and* the amount of support LL.M. students will get on bar prep at schools with really weak results. Georgia is the only state I know of that breaks out bar passage rates by LL.M. program and it's a model other states should follow!
February 2024 New York Bar Exam results are out! https://lnkd.in/gNKsjW9z
New York: please publicly break out pass rates by (1) foreign-educated lawyers who required an LL.M. to sit for the bar exam versus those who qualified without an LL.M. and (2) U.S. law school.
