ahahahahahahaahhaahahahaaahah!!

OmG

god save the united states and this honorable court

Texas bar results should be out tomorrow too.

What time do you think the emails will be sent? The office opens at 8:30 am.

I am thinking the emails may start going out overnight. Maybe it was an automated thing. Do they usually email people the results?

F*CK.

I don't think they emailed people last year. My friend told me the server went down last year.

The bar exam results will spell relief for area firms that need pretextual justification to layoff associates that haven't even started their employment. It will be a very depressing holiday season for many bar failures. And remember, if you fail on your first try, you may pass on your second, third or fourth attempt but you will never be able to conifdently claim that you were a first time passer. If you don't think it matters, when I was on the hiring committee, "did you pass the bar exam on your first try?" was usually my second or third question during the interview. That is all.

FYI everyone:

http://buffalo.bizjournals.com/buffalo/stories/2009/11/02/daily31.html

Overall, 72 percent of those who took the exam passed. American Bar Association graduates taking the test for the first time had the highest passing rate, 88.2 percent, while foreign educated test-takers saw the lowest percentage of success, 38.5 percent.

A look at the numbers, broken down by a variety of demographics:

Demographic — Passing rate:
All candidates — 72%
First-time takers — 80%
ABA graduates — 83.6%
ABA graduates, first time — 88.2%
NY ABA law schools — 83.2%
NY ABA law school, first time — 88.1%
Out of state ABA law schools — 84%
Out of state ABA law schools, first time — 88.3%
Foreign educated — 38.5%
Foreign educated, first time — 46.2%

Good times.

4 - I've heard that rumor, too. But the Texas Board of Law Examiners website has not changed in the last week and they say explicitly that the pass list will be released on friday. And over 5000 visits have been recorded in that week (none by me until I checked it today). On what authority do you say it will be tommorrow?

crap. I am a Foreign educated person. Here's hoping....

Comment removed by moderator.

is it true that you only get an attachment in the email if you fail (the NY bar)?

10,

I love that out-of-stater grads pass at a higher rate than NY grads. Just goes to show that there isn't a decent law school in NY.

I just got my e-mail, I passed NY!

With firms re-deferring and re-re-deferring (if not outright RESCINDING), don't be one of the schmucks who failed!!!!

is it true that you only get an attachment in the email if you fail (the NY bar)?

Oh good a list will be available to the public November 6th. Can't wait to check up on my classmates (he he!)

-- IL bar passer who's being sworn in tomorrow

Soviet bar secure

Wow, 13 . . . Wowwwwwwww.

Just like gays in Maine, a lot of you will be crying tomorrow, bleeding from your anuses.

GOT MY EMAIL, I PASSED!

13 - You got me...

So wait, I'm confused. What does this post have to do with the never-ending and heroic struggles of homosexuals in this country?

13 - Finally leaving that grounds-keeping job at the school, are ye?

MacGregor Clan for the wynn!

88 percent bar passage rate is just going to make you look stupider when you fail.

28 - "Stupider", FTL

Cory Booker's Facebook quote for the day should be kept in mind:

"Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Got my email!
I must report to central party headquarters tomorrow.

Never confuse being the mayor of Newark with a single defeat?

29 = stupidest

Time to drink myself into a stupor in case the news is bad....

11, it seems to follow a pattern of always going up the day before they are out, it might not be tomorrow morning, but tomorrow it's likely.

34, try setting a fire in a church, any church next to Ground Zero will do. I hear this really helps with BigLaw jobs.

does anyone know whether new york has ever admitted a walrus to practice law?

37 -

I had to research that very issue as a summer and, as it turns out, they admitted a manatee, two polar bears (though one was pro hac), and eight(!) harbor seals - but never a walrus. What it comes down to is discrimination against tusked animals.

ATL is so retarded. Elie, do you even read the stuff you post? The NY results will not be "posted" tomorrow, they'll be emailed out to individuals. They results will be "posted" on Friday. I know I'm nitpicking, but come ON.

Why can't someone get prelim stats on the CA bar exam? They should all be graded and packaged by now.

What are the statistics for white, male, first time, in-statem, ABA accredited?

Am I right in thinking that exam takers will not be emailed their result - they will have to log on to the website after receiving a general email that says the results are up?

40: i doubt they're done yet. there's still 3 weeks before the results are posted.

How will those who failed EVER find a job???? Too funny.

Will the email be your own personal results? Or will it be the list of people who passed....the same "results" that will be released to the public on Friday?

45--Elie wouldn't know, he just copies and pastes the information from the bar websites. That's reporting.

are people already receiving their emails of pass/fail from BOLE?

16, 23, 31 have you received your emails already?

47 - The BOLE has not sent out any emails yet. Those who claim otherwise are simply yanking your chain.

r people already getting the results
i have not received it yet
i hope the emails today are not for only people who passed

48 - If 16, 23, and 31 lied about receiving their emails, do you think that they'd answer honestly when asked?

37,

I took the bar next to a female walrus. She told me that if she passes, she will be the first member of the Odobenus genus to be admitted.

49- They have sent them out. Maybe it was a fluke or something, but people have started to receive them.

Can someone please post the substance of the Bar/Bri email that went out today? Apparently it contains info regarding what to expect, etc. Thanks!

People claiming to already have results, are LIARS! And, who cares about the attachment? Just open the damn email and see...

No one has received the email (yet)...

54- Text of the bar/bri email:

"The New York Board of Law Examiners has announced that the results from the July 2009 NY Bar Exam will be made available to candidates, by e-mail, tomorrow, November 5, 2009. You must ensure that you can accept emails from barresults@nybarapply.org. There will also be a link on www.nybarexam.org to privately view your individual results by mid-day.

A list of the candidates who passed the examination will be made available to the general public on Friday, November 6, 2009."

Texas will be up tomorrow, even though they say Friday on the website. They're always posted a day early. Yeehaw.

F***!!!!!

The New York State Board of Law Examiners hereby notifies you that you did not pass the NYS bar examination held on July 28-29, 2009. An official notice has been mailed and will include a breakdown of scores. Applications for the February 2010 examination must be received at the Board office no later then November 29, 2009 for failed candidates of the July 2009 examination. There is no provision for late filing. You may apply online using the On-Line Application or you may request a paper version of the Re-Application by calling the NYS Board of Law Exminers (518) 452-8700. Please note that if you choose to re-apply using the On-Line Application, payment must be made by Visa or MasterCard credit cards only; debit cards are not accepted.

I hate you Elie for posting this. Now, instead of the 24 hours where people other than those who got results will know, my entire firm will be asking me if I passed or not.

Dude, NY screws us over by posting on a thursday and publicly disclosing on Friday (like really, give me a weekend to get drunk after I fail before the entire firm knows) and now you tell them too.

NY lawyers are douches. This confirms it.

59 -- come on, please, your firm would know right away anyway.

58-when did you receive the email

58 is badspelling pwned:
"no later then [sic] November 29, 2009 for failed candidates of the July 2009 examination."

58,

Really? The NYS Board of Law Examiners misspelled Examiners (the second time the word appears) in their ding letter? That blows. Or you're a big fat faker. One of the two.

61 -- never.

60, I'd have 2 days before public disclosure moron. Tommorow if I'm asked i'm just going to say, "i haven't checked yet I will tonight at home"

then if it was a weekend i'd at least have 48 to drink and think. Not 1 night like now.

It's a douchebag move.

Remember, if you think you walked out of the exam and thought you did bad, you actually did worse than you thought.

I have it on good authority that everyone who commented above me failed.

66 - you're an asshole. enjoy your unewmployment.

66 - you're an asshole. enjoy your unewmployment.

The New York State Board of Law Examiners congratulates you on passing the New York State bar examination held on July 28-29, 2009. An official certification notice has been mailed and will contain your Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) scaled score. The notification which has been mailed is a required part of your application for admission to the Bar. In order to allow a reasonable time for the exam results to arrive by mail, requests for duplicate notices will not be accepted until after November 27, 2009. Although there is normally a $10 charge for a duplicate, due to the possibility of loss or damage in a bulk mailing, there will be a grace period with no charge for those requests received prior to December 9, 2009.

I preferred being blissfully unaware.

how come we have not received these emails yet

72,

Because these people are making up fake emails and lying to freak people like you out.

They are not out yet. Chill the fuck out.

The firm administrator has confirmed the veracity of this story. The results will be out tomorrow. The firm administrator will be monitoring the NY BOLE website to ascertain whether any of our associates failed the bar exam. Bar exam failures will not be tolerated and will be promptly terminated from employment.

Just got word from my friend-he passed. Last name starts with an A.

74 - go study civ pro. Seriously.

I passed a year ago, but I had knots in my stomach when I saw the post.

Wishing all of you the best tomorrow!!!

this is really absurd......i guess there are weirdos taking pleasure at our misery

PEOPLE LISTEN;

The people saying they already have emails, last name is ___ , whatever are just lying.

THink about it. only 3 posts saying it (1) says failed, spelled examiners wrong, (2) one says he passed, made up an email, (3) the third one realizes no one believes his other 2 posts so makes up a story about how it's possible because the last name starts with A.

Douche, shut up.

They will send out results tommorow. Even if they send them out earlier than 8:30am, there is no way they are going out at 5 pm CA time, where people who took the NY bar do live.

Stop being a douche.

I could've been the first walrus in history to pass the NYBE.

Alas, I got too hungry to study.

Anyway, please advise whether I now have ammunition sufficient for a disparate impact claim. Thousands of test-takers, and no walruses?

Clearly a genus-and-species biased test created by Eskimos.

All I want to know is if your actual result is in the email or you can only get your result by logging in the the BOLE site, because I heard the site went down last year and people couldn't get their results for hours.

It is tough to give a damn about the bar results when you failed the character and fitness examination.

82, there's no way to know that at this point. Stop trolling.

what time do you think we will get the emails

what time do you think we will get the emails

Affirmative Walrus,

What are some of the prejudices against Walruses and the Odobenus genus that are deeply rooted in society? I just want to know so that I can begin to deprogram the racism against Walruses that began in gradeschool...

Thanks

84 - 3 years ago they got them around 8:45, but last year the server was down and it took hours.

Can't tell. Just deal.

So, as 70 says, I guess people who pass NY get to find out their MBE scores.

I took (and passed) MA, and I have no clue what my MBE score was. How many other states never tell you your MBE score? I looked on the NCBE website, and apparently even if you pay them for their "service," they won't reveal your score if you took the test in MA.

Would it be that hard to let people know how they did on at least the multiple choice portion? People might want to move, after all.

MBE scores allow one to waive into D.C. (for those who suddenly decide to be prestige whores) or Minnesota (for whose who become Vikings fans). They can also carry over into a later iteration of the NY bar exam for up to two years, I believe.

Lordy, little more frustrating that studying so much for a test and never knowing at all how you did on it, beyond that you scored above a very low percentile.

PE-I failed the bar exam on your mother at your firm

88 - do you realize how much you sound like (a) a gunner douche and (b) see a above and multiply it by infinity.

So no emails yet, anyone?

90,

You're the douche

Not 88

no emails yet, tardos.

Everyone who's waiting on results, stop what you're doing (or stop working if you're still working like my dumb ass), drive home and on your way buy a bottle of alcohol of your choice (70% proof works too), watch porn and drink the alcohol with the mixer of choice, wake up with a terrible hangover but with incredibly good news. Good Luck and happy yanking.

92,

I disagree. Anyone who says " beyond that you scored above a very low percentile " on a board for people who do not know if they scored above that percentile are the douches.

Douchiness begets douchiness. BTW, you are obviously 88.

Sitting in front of the World Series on TV and freaking out. Did a quick search of the news and found the following:

http://www.brooklyneagle.com/categories/category.php?category_id=4&id=31739

Now we can have at least a somewhat intenlligent basis for freaking out...

96 here...Google search of "NY bar results" yielded in the results look-up page popping up.

97 when you enter the pass look up it does not yield anything

The best thing to do is stay up all night, and check your email every minute -- on the minute. If you don't, you'll never know if you passed or not. After all, the results are only available for 59 seconds after they are released. Common knowledge.

100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

101??

Well done, 101.

-100

did anyone receive an email

NO!!!!! This is torture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

103 -- Yes, I did. It said results come out tomorrow.

If you check your Blackberry every minute you will get it faster, it's true, look it up.

106: Can i look it up on my blackberry?

106 - what happens if you have an iphone?

108 - there's an app for that

So, what happens if you fail. You can still practice law, right?

88 - while you are a gunner, if you apply to take the bar in another state, you can petition for them to accept your MBE score. If the MBE score is rejected I believe you are permitted to see what you scored. At least that's how it's done in CA.

Did anyone actually receive an email from BOLE about the scores tomorrow? I found out about it from the BarBri mass email.

108. I like you.

109. I like you.

I dont understand why you bitches are making such a big deal about this anyway. As an avid ATL reader, I know for a fact that at least half of you dont have a job anyway. "Oh boy, now that I have a passed the bar, I can post contract work ads on craigslist so long as character and fitness doesnt find out about that one thing I did...." Sounds great.

BOLE did not send an email but its on the nybar.org home page that the results are re;eased tomorrow morning via email to the candidates

If you don't pass, the law examiners will pay to support you while you study to take it again, right?

If I fail, at least Obama will still President... how's that for a change of topic! Boom!

117

No, but you will pay child support to the prospective goldigger you have been banging for the last year or so because she thinks she is going to be set by marrying a lawyer. Yeah, she is pregnant now. No, she isnt sticking around for a guy that didnt pass the bar.

Is Obama hiring failed bar applicants?

I love golddiggers

119, will she wait for me to retake it in February? Surely that big legal aid salary is worth giving me a couple more months!

If I don't pass, can I still represent my cousin like in My Cousin Vinny?

120- Nope, just marrying them.

123 - No

GODZIRRA!!!! AAHHH!!! GODZIRRA!!!!

122

Probably not. But if you do have a legal aid offer in hand, and game, she might. She probably blindly believes that all lawyers are fabulously wealthy. That is why she is fucking you. But surely, within a few months of work, she will figure it out. So it will be the same result, only she will have invested more into the relationship, and therefore be more angry. As she leaves, she will tell everyone what a tiny pecker you have, and probably say something about how you hit her while she was pregnant. Your life is fixing to suck.

119

uggghhh, so dredding work tommorow.

119, offer? How would I have one of those? You're not allowed to apply for jobs until you pass the bar, right?

Have it on good authority, boys and girls, that BOLE will be emailing bar exam scores at MIDNIGHT! Keep pressing that refresh button :-P

119, also aren't all lawyers fabulously wealthy? I'm pretty sure the courts starts sending checks to all J.D.'s sometime in the fall after their graduation, just so they don't bring the profession into disrepute by living in squalor.

131

Lawyers are living in trash cans these days. I would call that squalor.

http://abovethelaw.com/2009/06/lawyer_of_the_day_larry_wilder.php

I am the author of 132, 119, and a few others. Im only doing this for about 10 more minutes, so if anyone else needs psychic help regarding their future in the legal profession, you better get your questions in now.

That's a nice looking trash can! The rent for one of those in NY must be insane!

130,

Even if it is a joke, I am sure a few of us will be checking their emails at midnight!

If I fail the exam, doesn't that really mean my professors failed? Can I get my tuition money back?

136

Your law professors were not the ones that passed up the opportunity to actually do the assigned reading in order to bang that tranny after law review. Similarly, no tenure committee whatsoever has ever considered bar scores regarding professor performance. This is much like the fact that no law school dean has ever fired a recruiter for saying "Dont worry about the debt- our graduates almost never have a problem repaying that quickly."

You were dumb when you went to law school. Even though you are not that much smarter now if you cannot even pass a test of basic competancy, you should be smart enough to realise that you, and you alone, were the one that just got shit on. Dont try to bring others into this.

Yawn.

Hmmm...still no email about my score. I wonder what they meant about scores being sent tomorrow...

Texas bar exam results will be up tomorrow per a colleague that is a SCOTX clerk. Look for the posting between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm (yeah, big window, but thats how the Texas BLE works -- long periods of time to accomplish things that could be done in a few weeks.)

Hadouken!!

137, I don't see what 'assigned reading' has to do with anything. I was physically in the law school at least a few hours a week, that should be enough. Plus, i signed up for that bar/bri thing, and gave them a hell of a lot of money. If that's not enough to pass the bar exam, I can't imagine what would be!

141 - Shoryuken!

The only individuals I know who have failed any bar are dilatory and nescient.

142

You are clearly too thick headed for me to bother wasting anymore time with. Your logic sucks, and though I wish you well in the future, it is clearly not a productive thing for me to utilize my psychic abilities to help you Ms. Orly Taitz.

This is so strange, but, well, I haven't gotten an email about my bar results yet. Why would this be? Oh, right, they don't come out until tomorrow.

What is the passage rate for people who went to imaginary law schools, like mine?

JaKe, are you Jewish? You look jewish in that picture. Look at that schnozz.

I know that most posters who care about the NY bar have by now gone to sleep or out to drink heavily but I was hoping someone could tell me something. What I'm wondering is has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

140 = thnx. May the misery end in TX closer to 1100 than 1500. . ..

143

Finish him!

you fools, you just wasted 3 years of your life to join a dying profession. in about another 7 years or so, you will pay off your loans and be back to zero net worth - ten years gone! we should have been plumbers... or pirates

152

Your law school didn't offer plumbing certification? Was it ABA approved?

Wrong game, douche.

Sonic BOOOOOOM

148, I am not Jake, but your comment offends me. Please remove it.

Any truth to the rumor that if your email address with NY BOLE is @hotmail; @yahoo; or @gmail, that you will not get results until tomorrow????

Or did the Japanese fellow from the Yankees make that up?

This post is addressed to Commenter #148:

I assure you that any deficiencies you believe I have in my appearance are more than made up for by my obscene wealth in the eyes of those who matter most--broads.

148 and 156,

I am Jewish and have a big nose. Many of us Red Sea Pedestrians do. To my mind, JaKe looks very Goyishe.

StreetFighter references FTW!

k, this is my first time posting on abovethelaw although I am an avid reader.

First, to those schmuks who keep lying about results being out, the rest of us have entire careers ahead of us to teach you what your mama should have taught you.

Second, for the guy or gal who keeps asking, you will not see if you passed or failed in the email. It will have a link to the sight where you can put in your security info and see the score. That's why the system crashes.

Also, it is quite likely that they will stagger the uploading of results (and the emails) because they staggered them when we got emails to login into some site and choose our testing location.

site*

Did you guys here that there's gonna be a Berenstain Bears movie?

Did you hear the Yankees won the World Series but Maine still won't let Yankees fans marry each other? So sad.

Yankees just won!

163- its "hear" not "here"

163- it's "hear" not "here"

163- "hear" not "here"

Wait, 163, I'm confused. Is that what your BOLE e-mail said?

I was hoping for something more along the lines of "The Hungry Caterpillar"

https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

link works, but internal server error when info entered. clearly not up yet.

165 = fail. 164 FTW.

170,

Wow, how did you find that link?

Hey, it is midnight. Scores should be posted.

Apparently, that's the site where scores have been posted in the past. I did a quick Goggle search and found posting for 2007 score results on that site

A little thing called google, my friend. 'NY Bar results'

Apparently, that's the site where scores have been posted in the past. I did a quick Goggle search and found postings for 2007 score results on that site

Congrats to Andy HGH Pettitte and A-Roid and all of the rest of the Yankees!

If the Yankees can do it, we can do it!

My score isn't posted yet. I thought it would be! You said it would be! You earlier posters lied to me. I guess I have to check my blackberry every minute now. Damn it.

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm deferred, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed to Winston over Skadden and Jones Day. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this deferred associate is all that's left. I got to live with that. Deferral Stipend? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and send your checks, Winston, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Poster 180 went on to find a postcard in a box hidden along a stone wall by a big tree, which told him to go to Mexico.

where he sold his deferred ass in Donkey shows

So, nothing tonight?

I'm gonna barf.

183: I already did.

Getting ready to give up on the refresh.

I didn't get my score but I got a great rate with Walrus Insurance.

Did you really think their office was open at 12???

can't sleep :(

I took the Massachusetts Bar back in February. I got my results.

I passed.

The NY BOLE called me this afternoon to determine whether they could use one of my essay answers as a model candidate answer. I reluctantly said yes.

Guys in my high school used to smoke Winstons all the time. It was no big deal.

158 - Jake:
Your unimaginative words are now platitudinous and banal.

Elie- did you finally pass?

190,

The NY BOLE called me this afternoon! They said that since my exam was so good they'd like to have an orgy with me next week. I reluctantly agreed.

CHECK YOU EMAIL OFTEN

can't sleep

Any idea as to by what time they would be sending off emails?

197 - I got my email around 2pm. Good luck!

OMFG. Doomsday.

200!

even scarier than getting bar results is after you pass and you discover that law school is a scam and that there are no jobs or solo slots for about half of all law school grads, and then you remember that you gave up 3 years of your life and went 100K dollars in debt for this....

True. The worst is yet to come. I recommend familiarizing Candidates with other potential revenue streams like:
- plasma donation
- selling stuff on eBay
- searching underneath sofa cushions for bus fare
- collecting empty beer cans at Pier 17

No idea 197, but I sure as hell cannot sleep either. This is an agonising wait...

NY emails are going out--- got mine at 4:27am.

Passed, no attachment.

204 -- you are an ass.

Anonymous posting should end. If you are unable to say something credible, why bother?

206, I distrust your motives for suggesting that because you are anonymous. In the future, please don't bother.

The kind of jokes 204 does should prevent one from passing the character interview portion of the bar.

204,

I take it back! Just got my NY email!

-205

WWWD?

What Would Walrus Do?

209 -- you are an ass.

- 205

209 -- I take it back-- just got an email.

It was about free taco Thursday at the taco hut but you know, it's still a pretty sweet email.

-205

c'mon Paula, help me out.

213 ftw!

I woke up around 7, because the anxiety and dreams.

I check the e-mail and nada.

This is frustrating.

This is why I'm glad I only took one bar exam in July, and passed it. Me FTW.

Is anyone skipping work or going in late to stay home and check the results?

217: sadly, no, have to go into work. Wish I could check from the comfort of home, but have to do it in "public." Still, happy to have job. Pending results, of course.

217 - who needs to stay home from work when we are all deferred?

OMG EMAILS ARE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

curses! the email they have for me is no longer working, so I have to wait for the link to become available.

why didn't abovethelaw have anything about the georgia bar results, which were released last week?

Remember, acceptances go out first.

Could be a long day for some of you.

Wow, the asshole parade just keeps going.

what is wrong with you people? you get pleasure from others pain? The results go out all at once around noon....

The websites from last year are starting to lag - are people clogging them or are the results going up?

https://www.nybarapply.org/OnlineExamResults.aspx

https://www.nybarresults.org

Georgia has a bar? Like, a real one, with lawyers? Stop with the lies!

still waiting

still waiting

still waiting

226 - I went to the second site you listed and it was just a red page with "COMING SOON"

************* NYBE Results -- BarBri update *************
BarBri just sent a follow-up email explaining to expect an official announcement IF YOU PASSED from the NY Bar to be sent today, by emails, by 9:00 am (EST). A similar seried of emails will go out to those who failed after 1:00 pm (EST) today.

I am continually pressing the refresh button on the NY bar website. I really want to stop, but it's not volitional at this point.

Bullshit 232, I didn't get that email.

https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

Amazing -- law students who have no idea how stressful the bar is post jokes about the results EVERY year. Once they actually take the bar, not as funny.

I sincerely don't understand what you get out of this 232. I hope it's just that you're a jobless prick with a miserable, short existence to look forward to. Not that, you know, you actually think this makes you cool.

OK, I am officially freaking out. I didn't receive such an email from Barbri though...

Yeah, 222, what gives? And further, NH results were posted last month and ATL didn't say anything about it! Also, my dad is a lawyer and was raking leaves this past weekend. Guess what? No ATL story!!! AND my brother just took the LSATs and no ATL love.

But seriously, no one gives a shit about GA. Not even my friends who practice there.

There is only one way to tell is 232 is telling the truth. We should all call Steve Rubin at home. Thanks Steve.

JUST GOT MY EMAIL. IT SAYS

WGWAG

GAPE GAPE GAPE GAPE GAPE GAPE GAPE

Thank god I trained my eagle sidekick, Avenger, to peck the refresh key...

Anyone who actually gives even an ounce of credence to the comments about "receiving an email" or "the results are up" probably failed the bar anyway. Talk about gullible!

For the rest of you, I PROMISE you'll receive an email when the results are out. You all passed (unlike those above), so I'd recommend just taking a deep breath and relaxing. Hitting refresh over and over just slows down the server, wastes your time, and will only guarantee that you get your results about 15 seconds sooner than I do.

I got an e-mail, but when I opened it, all it said was "WOSSUPP?"

244 - nice.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAASSAAAAAAAP

POUNDING!!

236, Actually I think they know and are simply mean.

Dear BOLE:

I am fortunate enough to be currently employed, however, your failure to send out timely emails regarding my bar results has caused me to be extremely unproductive this morning. In order to ensure a productive billing day, I sincerely request that you immediately send out results so I and others may restore our focus to work-related tasks.

Sincerely,
Employed (hopefully soon to be) attorney ready to beat any partner who has the guts to ask me about bar results.

Not lying: Just pulled my results from this link.

https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

They're up.

I'm not one of the assholes above, fwiw. The results are seriously out. Congrats to most of you; for others, this is just one block in the road, keep your head up.

Yes that link works. Thank you very much.

No email but that link works. UNLESS someone constructed a very sophisticated macro AND managed to obtain a correlation table for BOLE numbers and candidate names, in which case--well played.

ok, this link is either the best flame ever or it's real - but here's to hoping for the latter because I PASSED

do as 96 says

https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

It's true the link works, and I am pretty sure it's not fake.

(And I passed)

passed. thank god.

Can someone please go ahead and fail so we know the link is real?

Link works, passed!

Why do the results matter? It's not like newly graduated NY-based lawyers have any jobs to report for...

Birdman passed.

Well, if this link is true, I PASSED and I can't believe it. Nevertheless I would prefer that the NYS Bar had posted that link on their website so as to be certain that the results are not fake.

PASSED. Thanks so much whoever posted the above link. Saves the waste of time that would have been refreshing my email inbox for BOLE's typically late email.

Link does really work! PASSED

I looked up and passed. But why haven't we gotten emails! I'm super paranoid and am convinced it's not real! please tell me it is!

PASSED. Thanks so much whoever posted the above link. Saves the waste of time that would have been refreshing my email inbox for BOLE's typically late email.

Yes the link is real. I sent it to someone & they didn't pass. I am so bummed.

275-really?

Hmmm--maybe the link is old and it says that EVERYONE passed. Maybe the database has not been updated yet, and that is why there is no public link. Hmm....

The New York State Board of Law Examiners hereby notifies you that you did not pass the NYS bar examination held on July 28-29, 2009. An official notice has been emailed to the email address currently on file with the Board. The email will include an attachment with your official bar exam results, which will be in Adobe pdf. The date of the next bar examination is February 23-24, 2010. Applicants may re-apply to sit for the next examination by applying on-line at www.nybarexam.org. Re-applications for the February 23-24, 2010 examination must be filed on-line or otherwise received at the Board off ice no later than November 1, 2010.**

**Strange that reapplications for the Feb 2010 bar must be received by November 1, 2010...either that's a typo or the link is fake?

The link is realer than Real Deal Holyfield.

Please god, I hope this is real.

passed but waiting for the email for confirmation...

hope this is legit. i passed!

hope this is legit. i passed!

It's definitely real. Everyone who I know that has used it shows our name and birthday once you clear the login page along with the pass message.

FYI - according to http://www.allwhois.com/ the domain name is registered by the NY Board of Law Examiners. Is that proof?

Maybe if the person just found out they failed they get an extension to register for the February exam?

whooaaa a whoaaaa a whoawhoaaa, party in the USA

where are the emails?

if it was a fake, dont you think it would tell us all we failed?

try the link, it works:
https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

Holy shit, I passed. Thank you ATL commenter, for posting that link.

SEND THE DAMN EMAILS BOLE....I want confirmation

I am the one who posted in 275.

@276. I am dead serious. I can't believe it. I'm in shock. They sent me the message.

if it was fake, how would it give you your name and birthday???

IS IT REAL??
How could it be fake though if they've got your full name and dob and BOLE ID??

Thank you to the ATL commenters who posted that link! Waaahooooooooooo!

Is it super lame that I checked my results even though I passed February? Just wanted the rush ...

294 -- Well, you have to put in your month/year birthday to submit; but the full name means it's real.

It has your BOLE ID and DOB because you have to enter that info to "log in" to see your "results."

According to the link, I passed. It's a pretty small chance that it's fake given that it's registered to BOLE and all the information needed.
Maybe they haven't sent out emails because there is the obvious typo in the re-application dates. When that's fixed they go out? Just a thought.

failed.

I think this is legit. I put in a random BOLE # and birthday and received an error message suggesting that I contact the BOLE office with the 518 phone number. Try it. Congrats to all who passed.

I put in my ID with the incorrect DOB and it said:

ERROR

The required information that you have entered is either incorrect or does not match that which is on file at the Board’s office. Try entering the required information again.

If this message persists, please contact the NYS Board of Law Examiners at (518) 452-8700.

I think this means its real.

Yeah it's real, it knows I haven't taken the MPRE yet.

echo 275

I think its legit! I mean, it knows our names, based on our #. And if you put in your b day wrong, it rejects you. Way to complicated to be a scam...

https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

God, some of you are stupid. The link has your BOLE id and your DOB because YOU entered it, you moron.

Only the fact of the name makes it likely that it is real.

I hope it's real.

I just called the folks at BOLE to ask about this link and spoke to a woman who said no emails had gone out and that she didn't know anything about this link. She even refused to try looking at it "I'm not typing in any strange websites here at this office- I'm not looking for any trouble right now. The only website I know about is nybarexam.org."

Where did that link come from?

The results are in:
https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp

November 1 would not be a typo. A friend that did not pass in a previous attempt said that they give an extension for retakers. I specifically remember him receiving results and reading me a date that had already passed.

November 1, 2010 - not 2009? that's a typo

308 - But we never put our names in, only our # and DOB. It knew our full names based on that. Must be legit!

Please someone find out if the damn link is real??? BOLE has no idea about it and I still have gotten no email. It says I passed but I'm still so nervous

It gave me my full name, so I'm pretty sure it's real!

apparently the link "isn't legitimate" according to BOLE.

I think it's a fake link.

The domain name is registered to "New York Board of Law Examiners" not "THE New York STATE Board of Law Examiners" (difference in all caps).

Also, the website appears to be registered out of Virginia.

http://www.register.com/titan/domain/whois.rcmx

316: BOLE does'NT use contractions.

Even the link path is a little sloppy. "resultlu/results"

Come on.

How do they know our full names then?

Link is live from the BOLE homepage.

Occam's razor: entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Typo or elaborate hoax requiring access to BOLE database, registration of a domain name and no conceivable way to make money from all this work?

You choose...

Congratulations to all who passed and to those who did not 加油！

the link is now active on bole website, it's real

how does it know i didn't take mpre?

How do you know its not legitimate? I entered my ID number and Bdate and gave me my name back with a result. I entered it with a wrong Bday just to check and it said error...

Link is live from the BOLE homepage.

...if it's a fake (and wow - I have to say well done to the d-bag who set it up) how does it have the names from the bar #'s and d.o.b.?

...I didn't take NY, so I can't play with it. Good luck to everyone who's waiting for results today. Waiting sucks. Knowing is good.

can someone who got the results in Feb or July 08 please confirm that this is the link.

313, I agree that it's probably legit because it shows our names. I said as much.

I was saying that the BOLE ID and DOB data are explainable.

- 308

IT'S REAL - the link appears on the BOLE main page now!!!

The link is now on BOLE's site:

http://www.nybarexam.org/

The link has no typo, it is "resultslu" because the page is results lookup.

323, I cant find the link please let me know where it is?

It's real. Check the BOLE website. The link is there!

resultslu = results look up

It's real. Check the BOLE website. The link is there!

Here's why I think think the link is real: If you look at the ATL comments from last year's July exam, the same link is posted (along with another link on www.nybarapply.org).
http://abovethelaw.com/2008/11/new_york_bar_exam_results_are.php

If the site was a fake, I think it would have come to the BOLE's attention last year and they would have sued the creators or otherwise gotten the fake taken down by now.

The link is real because it's posted on the ny bar exam site. Never got an email but entered the info. It's real!!!!!! Couldn't be happier!

the link's on the website now

Thank jebus. God help anyone who fails in this economy.

Where?

Where?

Where?

Where?

Go to BOLE's home page. The link is there now.

If the link is fake then it has real access to the BOLE computer system. I clicked on the link provided for those who forgot their BOLE ID Numbers, and got an e-mail, with my correct BOLE ID Number, from the EXACT same e-mail address that sent me my BOLE number and confirmation after I filed my application. (yes i still have that e-mail, don't ask me why)

Furthermore, the link posted above had an "internal service error" message from last night until about 9 this morning. Could it be that the error was because BOLE was uploading the results? Likely. otherwise it would be an amazingly elaborate scam.

That being said, I guess it's possible that someone could have hacked into the system and posted erroneous results for real test takers. I would really like that confirmation e-mail if you please

Anyone receive the email yet from BOLE??

Link is on BOLE's webpage, same as posted above
that is all

the link looks legit. it's on the main page:

http://www.nybarexam.org/Default.html

Yes I received an e-mail from BOLE, and I passed!!

To BOLE: please, send us the emails!!!

BITCH SPREAD DEM BUTT CHEEKS SO I CAN SMELL THE JUICY INSIDES!

Now that I've passed!, I can officially ask. I've heard rumors of some bar downtown in the financial district where everyone who passes goes to celebrate and the guys throw their ties and the girls throw their bras up in the air or something like that. ANyone have any idea about this??

Got my email. What the heck is a good MBE score, anyway?

Link is now available on BOLE website (recommend using Internet Explorer, it was being stupid w/ Firefox)! PASSED!

I'm #350. I've actually received 3 e-mails from BOLE saying I'm passed, wtf.

sign me up for what 353 is talkin about -- i passed duuuuuuud

I passed. I still have no e-mail.

I want my DAMN e-mail.

354, when did you get your email?

CHECK YOU EMAILS

10:30 on the dot - 354

359, I dih'nt actually get the email yet

- 354

I want my email NOW!!!!!

Um, I really did. Seriously, people, quit being douchebags - 354

google search the result website. You can sign in.

-A PASSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no e-mail yet, site says i passed, but i want the e-mail!

366,

Same here. I want to see that email to really believe it ... Although I have already changed my facebook status :)

waiting on email to announce to world...

I got an e-mail. It is official, they are going out.

i got a 167.5 on the mbe...how do u get a half?

waiting on the email to learn myself. can't get myself to sign in to the damn site...too scared.

What does the MBE scaled score mean? What is the mean, and what is considered a good MBE score?

167.5, damned that's impressive

AHHH. WHY DIDN'T I GET AN EMAIL YET?

what do you need to waive into DC

I think DC is a 133

Site says I passed, no email yet either.

are you people who've received emails early in the alphabet?

passed! :D

You need 133 to waive into DC

I got an email for cheap viagra.

375: i think a 133

375: i think a 133

So much for getting an email BEFORE the results go live on the website....

I got mine at 10:30 and I'm a K. It might be going out by department. I'm in third

I'm in the 3rd Dept and have no email. But I'm an R

Im He didnt get it, My boy is Ha and got it. not by names

i think it's going by first name, everyone I know who passed via e-mail is A-D

Assuming it's true that you get a half (this is anonymous after all), Bar Bri said grades are scaled, so possibly when they scale your grade you go a half.

388 -- I passed (according to the private lookup), first name starts with B, but no e mail yet.

159.9 scaled here, so not just half points.

My first name is A and last name is W and I do not have an e-mail.

Got the email, and i passed! Phew. Now back to work...

170 scaled MBE. Do they release the percentile?

304 - they issue a "bar prize" to the top 3 test takers. Breakfast with the Governor (6:00am on a Sunday) is one of the rewards.

I NEED an e-mail.

Ditto, 396.

cmon EMAIL

Has anyone received an email that is inconsistent with their lookup results

Has anyone received an email that is inconsistent with their lookup results

I passed, but I am waiting for an email.

Do they only give you your MBE score or do they also give you your MPT and essay scores?

Just MBE

Grrrr, me need emailz.

only MBE score, no NY portion score on the email.

The Yankees win. I pass the bar. I am drinking enough to forget the fact that I'm at a crappy deferred position right now!

174.3 MBE

the e-mail i had on my application doesn't work anymore, i switched contact e-mail on their website, but not sure if i will get the e-mail. Doh!

217.184 MBE

Seriously no one cares

407 let me know if that works. my email is dead also.

Here's a list of everyone who passed:

http://buffalo.bizjournals.com/buffalo/blog/the_score/2009/11/names_of_people_who_passed_nys_bar_exam.html

why the hell hasn't ATL started a new thread for this? way to be on the ball kids

Glad I could help all you guys by posting it, I found the link late last night. It was really funny seeing all the "is this link real?" comments, as I'm one of the few on here who actually has an account on ATL. Don't you think it would have been from 'anonymous' if it were fake?

I am not satisfied with just passing and no E-MAIL.

Ah, let 'em brag a little bit, 408. 174 is pretty freaking high. On the other hand, if you are actually the loser who crushed a MINIMUM COMPETENCY test to that degree, you need to re-evaluate your priorities. You could have spent a lot more time this summer drinking and screwing.

nice 410....why does buffalo biz journal beat BOLE on everything? Stats, list, maybe I should expect an email from them, too.

zomfg i passed!!!!

I got an e-mail a while ago. My surname is early in alphabet, my first name is late. 2nd Department.

407, where on the BOLE website did you find instructions on changing your contact email?

418 it didn't help, the bar examiners said i need to fax them my new e-mail address with idenitfying info

It is amost noon and no e-mail. Was the poster correct that if you haven't received an e-mail by 9 am that means you failed and the failed e-mails will go out by 1 pm?

420, yes I'm afraid it's true. I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll pass next time!

420, I don't think so---I've seen threads where people who have failed have already received emails.

No email = you failed. You failed = bottom 10% of U.S.-educated first-time takers. Bottom 10% = probably shouldn't have gone to law school, certainly won't be a lawyer anytime soon.

HTH.

-- the good people on ATL

@423 I am already an attorney. I have been barred in another state for 4 years.

I'm on the list, got the pass message when I logged in manually, but still have NO EMAIL.

WTF!!!

BITCH SPREAD DEM BUTT CHEEKS SO I CAN SMELL THE JUICY INSIDES!

The Harvard flamer, Brian Schroeder, appears to have passed the bar, but Elizabeth Wurtzel's name is not on the list. Curiously, she's not on the Boies Schiller website anymore.

425 - me too

420 - click 410's link and look for your name, doofus

BOLE said to give it until the end of the day and that emails were still being sent out. Just called them.

She did not take the bar this past July.

Ditto, 425

Ok did anyone else notice the congratulatory paragraph when you log in on the website changed? Before it said the notice "has been sent," and now it says "An official certification notice will be emailed to the email address currently on file with the Board". Sooo maybe BOLE realizes they screwed up sending everyone emails...

Ditto 420 & 425. On the list, logged onto the BOLE site and passed but no email.

Good Luck 1sTTT TTTimers. Alchol is definiTTTely your friend.

Just checked 410's link and passed! Although hopefully no one else with my name took the exam and passed, while I failed

I passed the thing about getting the e-mail is a Lie. If you didn' treceive the e-mail it doesn't mean anything. I haven't received an e-mail and I PASSED! Thank GOD!

433 - I noticed that on mine too.

433 - you're right! I still had the window open from this morning, so I re-checked it, and it had changed from "has been" to "will be" - well, maybe I'll stop staring at my gmail inbox now (I passed, so it's not like I should care - just want eight different forms of confirmation I never have to do that crap again)

PASS!!

PASS!!

Last name starts with T and I got my email at 10:45 this morning

I STILL have not gotten an email and I passed! WTF!! This is driving me crazy.

443 - me too, we're good

Still no email for me, either.

I failed....should I call my firm today?

414 - 406 here, did plenty of both, thank you very much.

still no email. anyone else?

no email. what gives

448 - same

No email. I'm actually surprised that Bar/Bri hasn't sent something out by now regarding the emails.

Has anyone heard an official pass or your fired policy? If so, what firm?

446 - yes, get it over with.

these PASSES are making me fourhundredfourtyninthsty!

Yeah, no email for me either.

Yeah, no email for me either.

New thread!!!

http://abovethelaw.com/2009/11/new_york_bar_results_are_out.php

kinda odd that a business paper in buffalo has the list of names 1 day prior no?

passed!

no email!!!

PASS!!!!!!

so you got your emails then 459 and 461? anyone else not yet?

Pass but no email yet!

did anyone else get a passing email without an MBE score?

PASS per website.

No e-mail yet.

all i can say is i must've written some good essays cause i don't know how i passed on my MBE score.

texas results are up

arrgghhhhhh where is my EMAIL!!!!!!!!

Just got my email. Last name begins with a V, but I think it was established that it wasn't being sent by name. IDK.

Anyway, scaled score of 148.xx. I don't even remember what this means.

464, are you saying that's what happened to you?

458, i was thinking the same thing...

yeah..my passing email attachment had a blank for an MBE score.

464

Just got my email 5 minutes ago. 146.9.

passed! I was worried about the MBE but got a 144 on it. So relieved. I had an offer on the line! Congrats to those that passed. To those that failed, be strong and do it again.

I got 140 on MBE and passed. I am a foreign student and have never quite followed the scoring system. Anyway I figure I must have been close to failing with a 140. Has anyone get lower and still passed ?

I got a 142.8 on MBE and passed, is there any way to get the Essay scores??!!! I'm really curious cause I thought I completely bombed them.

474 -- I got a scaled score of 137.9 on the MBE, and still passed.

I got a 130.6 and still passed.

176.xx MBE. I guess even blowing off barbri and barely studying was too much effort, remind me to just wing it next time.

147.9

Do you guys know when the breakdown by schools will be released? I know of more than a few people that failed. Be strong guys...
