A former Ropes & Gray associate and Harvard Law School grad who failed the bar exam twice can move ahead with parts of her federal lawsuit against the New York State Board of Law Examiners.

Tamara Wyche sued the board and its individual members in 2016, claiming the board's denial of testing accommodations, which she received in law school, caused her to fail the attorney licensing exam and lose her lucrative associate job at Ropes & Gray.

U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie of the Eastern District of New York formally dismissed two of Wyche's four claims—brought under the Americans With Disabilities Act and the New York City Human Rights Law—in a Sept. 25 opinion, although Wyche already had agreed to withdraw those claims.
