Don't look back, Tulane, but Southern is gaining on you.

Curious, why do the link to all of SULC’s required disclosures on their website bad links? They all 404. Pretty sure ABA requires all admissions and employment statistics be accessible.

February statistics are basically useless. You have to wait for July to see if SULC has gained any real ground.

Do La schools have a lot of fall graduates? Or these mostly repeaters who failed last summer?

So, both. If you look at the stats page on the LASC website, it splits the results by school and by whether they are first time test takers or not:

As you can see, LSU Law only had four first time test takers. For the July exam, it will be closer to 150+. SULC, from what I gather, actually graduates a decent number of kids in December in time to take the February exam.

Interesting that people that went to non-LA schools had a better pass rate than Loyola, Southern, and Tulane (LSU negligible since they only had 4 first time takers).

Only Mississippi College teaches LA law, so many determined students with no classroom instruction on LA's law outperformed SULC, Tulane, and Loyola. Nice.

So, out of state test takers are a unique sample group. I suppose a few of them are local kids who went to law school out of state and now want to practice at home straight out of school, but my understanding is that most of them are practicing attorneys who are looking to move or expand their practice.

And on a related note, "Louisiana law" isn't as different as people pretend it is. While the terminology is different in a few areas of practice, the reality is that Louisiana (civil law tradition) and all of the other states (common law tradition) have been racing towards one another to create a hybrid of the two systems. At this point, practically ever other state has a massive book of codified law and every attorney in Louisiana worth a damned heavily cites to caselaw in practically every argument they ever make. In the 21st century, the differences between the systems are hardly worth noting in most situations.

It’s different enough that I have a hard time believing Louisiana will ever adopt the UBE.
