New York Lawyer

Of the 3,073 candidates who took the February 23-24, 1999 New York State Bar Examination, 50.6 percent passed the test -- up from the 47.9 percent who passed the February test session in 1998. The number of passing candidates rose to 1,556, up from 1,427 in February 1998. The total number of applicants exceeded last year's number, which was 2,979.

The pass rate for first-time applicants, as is typical, was significantly higher, with 64.4 percent, or 796 of the 1,236 novice candidates passing. This was down slightly from last year's first-time pass rate of 64.6 percent.

Candidates who passed are listed below under the Appellate Division in which they have applied for admission. The 294 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.
