NY Bar Exam site selection e-mail is out - ACT NOW!

Post by Pro Bono »

From Facebook: A fellow graduate and applicant reported that the New York State Board of Law Examiners has sent out the testing site selection email. Check your SPAM folder too!

Please pick your location as soon as possible! Do not miss the JD selection period or you will be left with the remaining site slots after the LLMs and other bar exam applicants. It is your opportunity for a preference in your test location.

If you do not receive it by Friday morning, please call the Board of Law Examiners.

The Board has changed its policy concerning Test Center assignments. Seating is no longer based on the applicant’s residential address as provided by the applicant on the bar exam application. Test Center assignments will be based on availability and on a first come, first-served basis at the time of the Board’s seating assignment email. No applicant is guaranteed a seat in any particular city or test center, even if the applicant lives or attended law school in that city. The Board’s seating assignment email is sent out after the application period closes (usually in early June for a July exam and early January for a February exam) and instructs applicants to select a test location from the list of available locations in the email. Only locations with available seats will be listed in the email. First-time applicants who graduate with a Juris Doctor degree from a New York State law school will be given the first opportunity to select a location.
