Consequently, there has been a move among lower tiered law schools to teach more black letter law - essentially to convert themselves into three years of BarBri. Those schools have improved their bar pass rates.
The question is, do you think the average student coming out of these schools is going to be a better lawyer for having taken the three year BarBri course? Or are there skills useful to a lawyer taught in law school that are not on a bar exam?

law school is trade school. we have several guys here from The University Of Michigan. Top 10, right?
they had several classes on ethics of what ever the fuck, but they don't know the difference between jurisdiction and venue. If you graduate from Joe's plumbing school, you better know which way to turn the wrench.
but no that matters- the real problem is that last May several million kids graduated high school, who can't read or do math. and guess who's lined up to graduate this May?
