Bar Exams

OMG, The New York Bar Exam Results Are Out!

Woohoo, the results of the July 2014 New York bar exam have been released!

The New York Board of Law Examiners has been releasing bar exam results earlier and earlier every year. Last year, for example, bar candidates received their results on October 30. Once again, it’s not even November, and some nervous test takers received emails from the New York BOLE before midnight on October 27 with their results from the July 2014 administration of the exam.

This news bears repeating: it’s not even November, and we have the New York bar exam results. As one of the most-taken exams in the country — about 12,000 people took the test last July — this is big news. It’s almost like the BOLE wants recent law school graduates to be able to start working as attorneys sooner — or trying to, at least. We’re living in crazy times, folks.

So much for that mid-November release date everyone was talking about, huh?

As of this morning, here’s what the New York BOLE website says about the results:

JULY 2014 Bar Examination Results

The results for candidates who sat for the July 2014 New York State bar examination have been sent to the last email address on file with the Board. There may be some delays in receiving the email depending on volume and security issues with individual email providers. The results are also available by using the private lookup link below. Candidates will be prompted to insert their unique BOLE ID and their Date of Birth to access their results online.

If you didn’t receive an email due to “volume and security issues,” here’s the official link to the results.

Those who passed the test received messages that looked a little like this:

Here are reactions from ATL readers who contacted us with the news (with lots of exclamation points!!!):

– Feels wonderful to have the weight lifted.

– NY Bar results are out!!!!!!! I am a foreign attorney and just got word that I passed!

– Results for the NY Bar exam were received [around] midnight. There was no warning on the NY BOLE website that anyone could find beforehand.

– THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!

– I passed, and I told ATL before I told my parents. Priorities?

– Passed thank god.

Congratulations from all of us here at Above the Law to everyone who passed. If you didn’t, don’t worry, there’s always February. Feel free to celebrate your good news (or bemoan your failure) in the comments.
