New York Lawyer

Of the 3,025 candidates who took the Feb. 22-23, 2000 New York State Bar Examination, 1,359 -- or 44.9 percent -- passed the test. That is down significantly from last year's pass-rate of 50.6 percent, and the lowest in the last five February sessions. The total number of applicants was down slightly from last year's number, 3,073.

The pass-rate for first-time applicants, as is typical, was significantly higher, with 60.1 percent, or 692 of the 1,150 novice candidates passing. This was down slightly from last year's first time pass-rate of 64.4 percent.

Candidates who passed and are certified for admission are listed below under the Appellate Division in which they have applied for admission. The 241 candidates who passed the exam but are not certified for admission, because the Board of Law Examiners has not yet received proof they passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, are listed separately.
