§ 468. Official registration of attorneys to be kept by the chief

administrator of the courts. 1. It shall be the duty of the chief

administrator of the courts to enter in a bound book or volume to be

kept by him for that purpose, which shall be known and designated as and

is hereby made the "official register of attorneys and

counsellors-at-law in the state of New York," the names and residences

of attorneys newly admitted to practice in the alphabetical order of the

first letter of their surnames, the title of the court and the time and

place where admitted. The said "official register of attorneys and

counsellors-at-law in the state of New York," is hereby declared to be a

public record and presumptive evidence that the individuals therein

named were admitted to practice as attorneys and counsellors-at-law in

the courts of record of this state.

2. The chief administrator shall provide the public with information

contained in such official register. Upon request, the office of court

administration shall disclose whether a person is registered as an

attorney as required by section four hundred sixty-eight-a of this

chapter. Where the official register indicates that an attorney has

resigned from the bar, or has been removed or suspended from practice by

an appellate division of the supreme court and has not been readmitted

to practice, that fact shall also be disclosed.
