According to Texas Lawyer it’s from American Bar Association’s Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar - though I couldn’t find find any school-specific attrition info just now in a cursory look at the website. At second thought I tend to be a little skeptical of these numbers given difficulty in measuring this kind of stat.
I was excited to see your post stating TMSL’s 1st year attrition rate was 6.99%. The LSAC website shows it at 22%, which is up from 18% last year. Where did you get 6.99%
