Successful candidates who have also completed the New York Law Course and taken and passed both the New York Law Exam and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, as required by the Rules of the New York State Court of Appeals, will be certified by the Board to the Appellate Division for admission to the bar. Each candidate must appear before the Committee on Character and Fitness before being admitted.
