New York Lawyer

Of the 8,541 candidates who took the July 27-28, 1999 New York State Bar Examination, 5,846 -- or 68.4 percent -- passed the test. That is down from the 70.1 percent who passed the July test in 1998, and down significantly from 1994's record rate of 78.7 percent. The total number of candidates was down from last year's 8,788 test takers.

The pass rate for first-time applicants, as is typical, was significantly higher, with 75.3 percent -- or 5,421 of the 7,197 novice candidates -- passing. This was down somewhat from last year's first-time pass rate of 77.9 percent.

Candidates who passed and are certified for admission are listed below under the Appellate Division in which they have applied for admission. The 607 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.
