About Law School HQ
Hello everyone,
I am an attorney and analyst. One of the things that has fascinated me is stats and trends surrounding bar exam passage rates, job statistics, etc. Now, instead of litigating, I spend my time using visual analytic software such as excel and tableau to pull information out of data. This blog is a place to share that information, as well as a place to provide resources for individuals who are studying for the bar exam, or who have recently taken the bar.
If you have any questions or comments (or ideas on what to examine) send me a message and I will see what I can do.
Thanks!
