New York State Board of Law Examiners Certification
Prior to beginning the program, all applicants interested in sitting for the
bar exam are encouraged to obtain certification of their eligibility from the
New York State Board of Law Examiners. Completion of an LL.M. program does not
guarantee access to the bar exam. Eligibility is governed in part by the nature
of prior law study.
