Fourth tier schools often beat higher ranked schools in bar passage percentage because they really make sure to teach all bar subjects and basically spend 3 years training their students to pass the bar. Which is obviously necessary if you go to a fourth tier school b/c it is unlikely that you'll get a job that is patient enough to give you one extra chance, the way BigLaw often does.

it begs the question* "why hire from tier 1?" I went to a tier 1.5 D.C. school so this isn't ego, but I swear I've worked with several graduates of U of M who didn't know venue from jurisdiction. I've made the bet they could write a solid essay answer on a hypothetical statute against theft on Jupiter, taking account of the greater gravity, from there days in Outer Space Law. But, I mean law school should at least teach you the tools in your toolbox.
on the other U of M did have a 90% pass rate, so its not a big difference.
*I remember a tutorial on Stalin about "begs the question" and when it is properly used, but can't remember the answer. But, I did at least issue spot.
