Update: Dan Filler (Drexel) blogs the July 2011 California bar results for out-of-state law schools, including the disquieting news that three schools had pass rates of 10% or less:
- 0%: Dickinson (0 of 6)
- 5%: Thomas Cooley (1 of 20)
- 10%: Suffolk (1 of 10)

I don't think Tier 2 means what you think it does.
