    September 11, 2017 VIA EMAIL AND PERSONAL DELIVERY The Honorable Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, Chief Justice and Associate Justices SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA 350 McAllister Street Room 1295 San Francisco, California 94902-4797 RE: The California Bar Exam – Adjustment to the Minimum Passing Score Dear Chief Justice and Associate Justices: The undersigned Deans of the California Accredited Law Schools (CALS) request leave to file this Letter Brief to ask the Court to exercise its inherent power to admit persons to practice law in California and to adjust the minimum passing score (cut score) of the California bar exam.1 Following comprehensive study and analysis of minimum competence, the CALS join with many other stakeholders and experts, including the State Bar of California, in supporting a change in the minimum passing score of the California Bar Exam to 1390, as the one score that represents the intersection of research data, norms, current practice, and policy. The CALS previously petitioned the Court on March 2, 2017 to request an adjustment to the minimum passing score from 1440 to 1350.2 In response, the Court expressed its concern that it “lacks a fully developed analysis with supporting evidence from which to conclude that 1440 or another cut score would be most appropriate for admission to the bar in California.”3 The Court directed the State Bar of California (State Bar) to conduct “a thorough and expedited investigation” that includes “a meaningful analysis of the current pass rate and information sufficient to determine whether protection of potential clients and the public is served by maintaining the current cut score.”4 1 California Rules of Court, Rules 9.3(a) and 9.6(a), as amended and effective on January 1, 2018.

TABLE OF LAW SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENTS About this chart: To identify whether a school had a mission statement and, if so, what it encompassed, we largely followed the process described by Professor Organ in Missing Missions: Further Reflections on Institutional Pluralism (or its Absence), 60 J. LEGAL EDUC. 157, 160-161 (2010): "The search process involved several steps. We checked the law school webpage to see if it had a link to “Mission.” We checked the “About” link to see if the description of the law school referenced the school’s mission. We checked the “Dean’s Message” or the “Dean’s Welcome” to try to identify all law schools that clearly highlighted a mission statement. We checked the “Academics” page and the “Admissions” page. We also used the search link on the school’s webpage entering the words “mission” and “strategic plan.” While many law schools have a “mission” that is clearly defined as a “mission” or “vision,” others were less explicit, but nonetheless described the school’s “aims” or “purpose” or “commitment,” which we deemed sufficient to qualify as a mission statement.
