\"barIn the battle for bar exam replacement supremacy, NextGen is making some very impressive strides. New York \u2014 the Athens, Istanbul, and Dublin of America<\/a> \u2014 plans to adopt the NextGen bar exam in July of 2028. Law.com has coverage on the decision:<\/p>\n

\n

According to a Wednesday announcement from the New York State Court of Appeals, New York will continue to administer a second, New York-specific component in addition to the exam.
\u2026
\u201cWe are thrilled that New York has decided to adopt the NextGen bar exam,\u201d NCBE president and CEO Judith Gunderson wrote in the press release. \u201cThis decision will help ensure that the state\u2019s newest lawyers are ready for today\u2019s practice of law, while maintaining score portability for the thousands of examinees who seek licensure in New York each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This brings the total count of jurisdictions that will use the NextGen exam to 30. The Big Apple\u2019s version of the exam will have location-specific aspects to the exam that may require in-person attendance to complete. No word on if the in-person component will include finding a lamb over rice platter for less than $15, but no self-respecting New York attorney should find the prospect much of a challenge.<\/p>\n
