COVID-19 Coronavirus Update (3/20/2020)

The New Jersey Board of Bar Examiner’s operations are continuing off-site as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis. 

Contacting Our Office:  Please do not visit our office at this time, since our service windows are closed.  If you need to contact your Case File Manager, we prefer that you do so by e-mail rather than by phone.  Email is the more efficient method of communication as this time.

Document Electronic Signatures: During this COVID-19 crisis and until further notice, the Board of Bar Examiners will accept all electronically signed Law School Certificates, Certificates of Good Standing and Certificates of Character.

Grading of February 2020 Examination:  The grading of the February 2020 Uniform Bar Examination in New Jersey is progressing as usual despite the crisis. While the Board does not currently foresee any problems with issuing results for this examination within the usual time period (that is, mid-May), all candidates who sat for the February 2020 UBE should monitor their emails and/or this website for any updated information.

Will the July 2020 Bar Examination Be Administered as Scheduled?  What impact, if any, the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis will have on the July 2020 Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) in New Jersey is not certain at this time. We are in close contact with the National Conference of Bar Examiners and other jurisdictions as we all consider possible options for the July 2020 exam in the event that bar admission office closures or prohibitions against large gatherings remain in effect. Please continue to monitor this website for updated information. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Requests for Certificates of Good Standing:  If you are requesting a Certificate of Good Standing, please do not visit our office.  Instead, you can find the “Request for Certificate of Good Standing” form on our website under “Other Forms.”  Simply complete the form and mail your request, along with payment, to the address noted on the form.

Further Updates:  Please monitor the Board's website for updated information. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
