An asterisk (*) indicates apparent miscalculations or discrepancies/inconsistencies in the school's data in the spreadsheet. The ABA states at the top of the spreadsheet:

First Time Bar Passage Calendar Year 2022 (Any corrections in the data after February 24th, 2022 can be found at http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/BarPassageOutcomes.aspx).

Updates:

• Dean Andrew Perlman sent me the corrected data for Suffolk: its total difference was -8.29, not the erroneous -79.39% on the ABA spreadsheet.
• Professor Anthony Desiato sent me the corrected data for Pace: its pass rate was 62.89%, not the erroneous 60.10% on the ABA spreadskeet.
