I am lateraling to NYC this summer. Obviously need to take the NY bar, but do I need to re-take the MPRE? I am a class of 2010 law student, so took the MPRE quite a while ago. Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Thank you in advance!

Just to be clear, I passed he MPRE in 2010, before I started practicing in another state. But that was more than three years ago. I know NY requires first time bar takers to take the bar within 3 years of passing the MPRE, but was hoping there might be an exception for attys who have practiced already. Thanks!

Re: Lateraling to NY -- Required to Retake MPRE?
Doesn't say anything about exceptions if you've been practicing in another state, unfortunately. :\Therefore, if it has been more than three years since an applicant took and passed the MPRE, the applicant will be required to re-sit and pass the MPRE before the applicant may be certified to the Appellate Division as having passed the bar examination.
