HTN: Would-be Lawyers Coming to Buffalo

The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center is set to play host to a bunch of prospective lawyers. The New York State Bar Exam will be conducted there on July 28th and 29th. About three-thousand would-be lawyers will visit the Queen City; usually the testing occurs in Albany. The test stands to be a windfall for downtown businesses, since about two-thousand test-takers are anticipated to come from out of town. That means they'll be renting hotel rooms, dining at area restaurants and shopping in the area. Added to that, the New York State Board of Law Examiners, the governing body administering the exams, will hire about 150 local residents to proctor the exams and provide security for the event.
