New York State Bar Association (@NYSBA) / X. Serving attorneys and the community since 1876, NYSBA is the largest voluntary state bar in the nation.
Lawyers in New York are regulated by the Courts. Within three years of passing the Bar Exam, the person must submit to a review of his or her character and fitness to be a lawyer by a committee of his peers and be admitted to practice law by the appropriate Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
Many states have Bar numbers; New York does not. The registration number, which appears on the biennial registration form, is used for internal Office of Court Administration record-keeping only. This registration number should be used on all correspondence with this office.
