Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School (AJMLS) continues its upward momentum in bar exam performance, building on the historic success reported in recent years.
In recent history, the Bar Passage Rate for AJMLS has reflected a strong and consistent trajectory of improvement. Following a historic high in ultimate bar passage for the Class of 2022, Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School is proud to announce that it has already achieved ABA Standard 316 compliance for the graduating classes of 2023 and 2024—well ahead of final reporting deadlines.
Notably, for the February 2025 bar exam, AJMLS first-time passers posted a mean MBE score of 143.67, significantly surpassing the national average of 130.8—a strong indicator of the school’s continued academic momentum and effective preparation strategies.
Under ABA accreditation guidelines, law schools must demonstrate that at least 75% of their graduates pass a bar exam within two years of graduation. AJMLS has not only consistently met this benchmark but has done so with increasing margins, underscoring the long-term effectiveness of its comprehensive bar support programs.
These sustained results are no coincidence. They are the outcome of the school’s dedicated faculty and Academic Achievement and Bar Success team, whose personalized mentoring, strategic training, and data-driven programming have become cornerstones of AJMLS’s student success model.
Finalized bar passage data for the Class of 2023 will be available following the release of July 2025 exam results. However, early indicators suggest another strong year for AJMLS graduates, reaffirming the school’s place among institutions delivering tangible outcomes for its students.
Congratulations to our students, faculty, and staff on this outstanding accomplishment. We look forward to sharing continued progress in the months ahead.
