The February 2008 results of the Michigan Bar exam were released the week of May 12, 2008. A total of 8 Ave Maria graduates sat for the February 2008 Michigan Bar Exam. Of the 8, two were first time test takers and both passed, providing Ave Maria with a 100% bar passage rate for "first time takers" in the State of Michigan, tying with the University of Michigan Law School for first place in the state in this category. The remaining 6 graduates were "re-applicants" or repeat takers; 4 of the 6 re-applicants passed, resulting in a 67% passage rate for repeat takers, the highest of all Michigan law schools. The total combined score of first time test takers and repeat takers was 75%, the second highest total bar passage rate in the State of Michigan.
