* California applicants from non-ABA-approved law schools also include those who attended California-unaccredited law schools (law schools not accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners) and schools no longer in operation, both of which are composed of an unverifiable mixture of conventional, correspondence, and online schools. These numbers of applicants (California-unaccredited: 311 taking, 36 passing; schools no longer in operation: 192 taking, 49 passing) are therefore omitted from this chart.† Maryland does not track the breakdown of conventional, correspondence, or online school for exam takers from non-ABA-approved law schools. Such graduates must already be members of the bar in another US jurisdiction in order to apply to take the exam in Maryland.
