July 2020 New York Bar Exam postponed - NO registration date available

Post by Pro Bono »

Notice from The New York State Board of Law Examiners website www.nybar exam.org:

*NEW March 27, 2020*

COVID-19. UPDATE

The New York Court of Appeals today announced that the New York State Bar Examination will not be administered on July 28-29, 2020 as previously scheduled. Click {https://www.nybarexam.org/Press/PressRe ... arExam.pdf} to read the press release from the Court of Appeals dated March 27, 2020.

The State Board of Law Examiners will announce the new date for the exam and the dates for the application filing period as soon as it becomes available.

Further information will be posted on this website when available. Additional information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the July 2020 bar exam is available on NCBE's website at: http://www.ncbex.org/ncbe-covid-19-updates/

The Board’s office is closed until further notice as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Staff are not presently available to answer phone calls. However, the Board continues to closely monitor the situation. The health and safety of applicants, our staff and the proctors who administer the bar exam are of paramount importance to the Board.

The grading of the February 2020 UBE in New York is progressing despite the crisis. However, due to the closure of the Board's office, the release of the February 2020 UBE results may be delayed beyond the usual time period (that is, on or before May 1st). All candidates who sat for the February 2020 UBE should monitor their emails and this website for any updated information.
