Justice Minister Moves to Lower Bar Exam Passing Score to 55
Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin is reportedly planning to lower the passing score for the Bar Association exam, which was administered last June. The proposed change, detailed in regulations released by Levin for public comment, would set the new passing mark at 55.
This initiative aims to align the pass rate of the recent exam with the average pass rates observed in previous examinations. The move comes as part of an effort to adjust the standards for qualifying new lawyers.
