Will the July 2022 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 numberon the day that results are mailed. (In case you are wondering where they reveal that results are released, they make an announcement righthere 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 may have to wait for the results to be mailed. 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?
In the past, results have been posted as early as 2:30 PM ET. For the February 2017 administration, they were posted later—around 4:08 PM. For July 2017, they were posted at 4:40 PM. And for February 2018 and February 2019, they were posted after 4:00 PM as well. Anywhere between 12:00 PM and 4:50 PM is normal but we suspect they will be posted later than 4:00 PM. It is unlikely they will be posted later than 5:00 PM ET.
Will I be able to find my July 2022 Michigan Bar Exam results by my seat number if I don’t have Character and Fitness clearance?
Most likely. For the last eight bar exams, the Michigan Board of Law Examiners (BLE) released the seat numbers ofeveryone who passed the bar exam—including those who had not yet passed the MPRE or Character and Fitness. 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 2022 Michigan Bar Exam results are released?

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. NOTE that the next administration of the bar exam in Michigan will be the Uniform Bar Exam!
We offer:
- We have an On Demand or Premium Uniform Bar Exam Course which are very popular! You can read more about our courses here as well as see outline samples!
- A Multistate Essay Exam 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 MEE Course, go here.
- Private tutoring for the Uniform Bar Exam. You cannot beat one-on-one private tutoring. You can sign up for one session or multiple 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. We are proud to have written ALL of the passing appeals in the state of Michigan for the July 2018 administration. If you would like to reserve a spot for an appeal, contact ushere.
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. (Note: if you hold a spot for our On Demand or Premium Uniform Bar Exam Course, we will preserve any current discounts for you even if the discount has expired by the time you get your results.)
- 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 contact ushere if you find you cannot stop worrying!
