AQ – Part 1 School Information

AQ - Part I Bar Passage Where a graduate took the bar examination twice in one administration (e.g., twice in February 2015 or twice in July 2015), the graduate shall be reported as having passed the bar if the graduate passed the exam in either or both of the jurisdictions, provided that the school is reporting bar pass results for a jurisdiction in which the graduate passed.  If the graduate failed the bar exam in both jurisdictions, the graduate shall be reported once as not having passed, again provided that the school is reporting bar pass results for a jurisdiction in which the graduate did not pass.  To reiterate, a graduate is counted as one passer even if the graduate passed the exam in both jurisdictions.
