Will the July 2017 Michigan bar exam results be posted online?

Yes, the Michigan Board of Law Examiner’s states on their website that results will be posted by seat number on the day that results are mailed. (In case you are wondering where they reveal that results are released, they make an announcement right here on the home page of their website.) Note: This is the seat you were actually sitting in – which may be different than the seat you were originally assigned.

If you do not remember your seat number, you can try to call or email the Michigan Board of Law Examiners and ask what you have to do to get it. Last year they did not release this information to applicants who did not write down their seat number.

What time of day are the Michigan bar exam results posted online?

Generally, results have been released around 2:30. For the February 2017 administration, they were posted later — around 4:08 PM. Anywhere between 12:00 and 4:30 is normal.

Will I be able to find my July 2017 Michigan bar exam results by my seat number if I don’t have Character and Fitness clearance?

Most likely. For the last six bar exams, the Michigan Board of Law Examiners released the seat numbers of everyone who passed the bar exam – including those who had not yet passed the MPRE or Character and Fitness. (This is relatively new – they had not done that before.) If they do the same thing this time, you will be able to find out whether you passed as soon as results are posted, regardless of if you are still waiting for Character and Fitness clearance.

I don’t have the time, energy, or desire to constantly refresh the BLE website. Can you just tell me when the July 2017 Michigan bar exam results are released?

Yes! Please send us your email or your phone number if you want to know first! We are usually among the very first to know when Michigan releases bar exam results  and we are happy to text you or email you when they are out!

When results are out, we will send a short email or text to you announcing that results are out. We will not share your information with anyone. In addition, we will not sign you up for our newsletter or anything else unless you want to be signed up! We will simply send a short notification when results are out then leave you alone!

Text Notification: If you’d like to receive notification via text message, please text KNOWFIRSTJ to 77222 and follow the instructions!

Note: If you choose to be contacted via text message, we will send you an “opt in” text message so that you can opt in to receive results via text message. Then we will text you as soon as results are out!

I’m Worried I Failed! Can I Reserve a Spot for Tutoring or a Course? 

Yes. Contact us at info@jdadvising.com or 248-228-5547 to reserve your spot for any of the following. We offer:

• A full-service Michigan bar exam course, which is complete with outlines completely tailored to the Michigan bar exam, released multiple-choice questions, and essay questions. You can read more about the  course here as well as download a copy of the syllabus. This course is very highly-regarded.
• A Michigan bar exam essay course which is super-popular even among those who take standard commercial courses, as we give you a huge advantage on essay day. To read more about the Michigan bar exam essay course, please see this link.
• Private tutoring for the Michigan bar exam. You cannot beat one-on-one private tutoring. You can sign up for one session or 30 sessions (or any number in between). To learn about our private tutoring services, click here.
• A Michigan bar exam appeal. These are much harder to win now and whether you would be eligible would depend entirely on your score and the content of your essays. However, we are proud to have written 5 of the 6 passing appeals in the state for the July 2016 administration and 5 of the 7 passing appeals in the state for the February 2017 administration.

A few notes if you choose to reserve your spot for any of the above:

• First, you are not required to use the spot if you temporarily reserve the spot. It will merely be held for you until results are released.
• Our full-service Michigan bar exam course and essay course fill up very quickly! We highly recommend early reservation if you are worried you failed and are truly interested in one of these options.
• Just because you reserve a spot (as your Plan B!)  does not mean you will “jinx yourself!” In fact, most of our students who reserve a with us end up not needing it (even though they are convinced they failed!). Why is this? It is because feelings do not correlate with results! This is is why — even if you are absolutely convinced you failed — you may have indeed passed! Please see this post about how to deal with worrying about bar exam results before they are released!  You are also welcome to call us (248-228-5547) or email us (info@jdadvising.com) if you find you cannot stop worrying!
