Rankings aside, Seton Hall is one of the best law schools in the country, plain and simple.
Whether a law school is excellent or poor is largely based on two important and defining metrics: employment outcomes and bar passage rates.
(1) Bar Passage Rates. Seton Hall Law School had an astonishing 90% passed the bar on the first attempt in 2015. To compare that with an Ivy League school, Cornell’s law school had a 93% bar pass rate on first attempts in 2016, and Yale had 96% pass in a recent year. Therefore, Seton Hall is clearly running with the top of the pack in the bar pass rate category.
