The New York Task Force says New York Should Withdraw From the Uniform Bar Exam

A New York State Bar Association task force says the state should withdraw from the Uniform Bar Exam, and instead develop its own bar admissions test that focuses more directly on state-specific laws. The State Bar’s House of Delegates “overwhelmingly approved” the Task Force of the New York Bar Exam’s recommendations. A total of 94% of members voted in favor of the changes and 3% opposed, with the rest abstaining,

The current state-specific New York Law Exam, now taken by examinees in addition to the two-day Uniform Bar Exam, is too easy: Just 30 out of 50 multiple choice questions need to be answered correctly to pass the open book test. It’s also lent itself to cheating by groups of students taking the exam in the same room and comparing notes.

The New York law-specific portion of the exam should test “a basic working knowledge of key New York legal principles and concepts," the task force said in its recommendations.

40 U.S. jurisdictions have adopted the Uniform Bar Exam, according to the NCBE, including 38 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The announcement from the New York Bar will need to be ratified by the state’s Court of Appeals before it takes effect. Even if that happens relatively quickly, he said a new version of the New York bar exam likely wouldn’t replace the UBE for several years.
