Not surprising. All of higher ed routinely admits large numbers of students that are not really college ready and/or never will be to keep the tuition money coming in, and law schools are no different (remember Valparaiso Law School?). The first time pass rate for the most common elementary teacher licensing exam is even worse.
Our student debt crisis is just a gigantic, in-your-face signal that a huge share of college students should have never been admitted in the first place, but no policymaker (and certainly no one in higher ed administration) has the nerve to say that a more honest system would mean telling the majority of high school students that they just don’t have what it takes to obtain a serious degree in 4 years and there are other options that better suit them. Instead we have established an ecosystem of fluff courses and majors to make sure students who incur tens of thousands in debt after 5-6 years don’t feel like they’ve been fleeced, even though that is exactly what is going on.

It would be interesting to see the passage rates for the three in-state schools broken out…IU Bloomington, IU Indy, and Notre Dame. And then show out of state graduates.
I’m originally from WI and a Univ of WI-Madison grad so out of curiosity I checked the stats for the WI bar exam. What I found was this… “Typically the WI bar exam pass rates range between 72-92%.for total takers, 78% and 94% and for first time takers and 20% and 65% for repeat takers.” …https://ibarexam.com/wisconsin-bar-exam/#:~:text=Typically%2C%20the%20Wisconsin%20bar%20exam,65%25%20for%20the%20repeat%20takers.
Seems to be a problem Indiana has but Wisconsin does not.
This does not necessarily change the passage statistics but Wisconsin may be padded by their state policy allowing any graduate of a Wisconsin law school to practice in the state without taking the bar.
I may be showing my age, but I know it used to be that graduates of UW law school were automatically admitted in WI. When did this change?
