The announcement reads, in part, “New York will participate, with appropriate safeguards, in the remote bar examination to be administered on October 5-6. Candidates registered for the September exam will be automatically registered for the October remote exam. The Court and the Board will also give careful consideration to waiver requests by JD candidates who graduated in 2019 or later, previously took the bar examination in New York and failed no more than two times and who wish to sit for the online examination. Further, the Board will make reasonable efforts to address technological or testing space issues for candidates who promptly seek assistance in advance of the examination.”
