"Fifty-eight percent of those persons taking the Florida Bar for the first time in February passed, according to the Florida Supreme Court.
This compares to the 69 percent passing the bar exam last July.
Of the 21 Florida State University College of Law graduates taking the February exam, 15 passed, or 71.4 percent. Thirteen of the 23 graduates of the Florida A&M University College of Law passed, or 56.5 percent, according to the Florida Board of Bar Examiners report.
“We are disappointed that we are only in third place on this most recent test,” said Don Weidner, dean of the FSU College of Law. “However, we are optimistic going forward because of new programs we have put in place.”
Last July, 151 of the 188 FSU law grads passed, or 80.3 percent. The FAMU law school’s passing percentage was 68 percent, with 57 of the 84 graduates taking the exam.

Based on the February results, Florida International University College of Law had the highest passing percentage, or 85 percent, with 22 of its 26 students passing the exam.

Of the 193 graduates of schools outside Florida taking the exam, 93 passed, or 48.2 percent.
