&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Chronicle of Higher Education reports on a new study&amp;#8212;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Marooned Law School Graduates: An Empirical Investigation of Law School Graduates that Fail the Bar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8212;showing that students who fail the bar not only lag behind bar passers, they fail to measure up to college grads who didn&amp;#8217;t go to law school in terms of &amp;#8216;earnings, employment stability, and even marriage and divorce rates.&amp;#8217;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;From the abstract:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;What happens to law school graduates that fail the bar exam? This invisible population makes up a significant portion of the graduating law school classes, but we don&#39;t know anything about their long-term prospects. We don&#39;t even know how many of them there are. In contrast to the rich body of literature examining the long-term outcomes of lawyers, this is the first serious attempt to understand the costs imposed by bar failure. [ &amp;#8230; ] Law school graduates that never succeed in passing a bar exam have a very difficult &#39;first term.&#39; Five to ten years out of law school, they lag well behind lawyers on every measure - earnings, employment stability, even marriage and divorce rates. Moreover, as a group, bar-failers fare worse than college graduates despite having left college with better-than-average grades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; -posted by brian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
