BUFFALO, N.Y. — The state Board of Law Examiners said it was a difficult decision, but it has nonetheless canceled the New York Bar Examination that, in normal years, gives prospective attorneys admittance to practice if passed.
The exam had been rescheduled to Sept. 9 and 10, but ongoing worry about further spread of Covid-19 prompted the cancellation.
However, a contingency plan was developed while knowing cancellation was a possibility. State Chief Judge Janet DiFiore has authorized for qualified law graduates to engage in the supervised practice of law. You can read the full story on Buffalo Business First's website.
