“I would not be surprised if what we see is maybe not a return quite back to the early 2010s sort of scores, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see an upward shift, now that law school has become a bit more popular again, a bit more selective,” said Brian Sheppard of Seton Hall University School of Law.

The latest scores on New Jersey’s Uniform Bar Examination show a continuing downward trend in passage rates.
In February’s bar exam, the passage rate was 32%, which the lowest score of any New Jersey bar test since 2019. New Jersey’s rate was tied with Alabama’s as the lowest in the nation, according to the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
