NEW YORK — Two days after John F. Kennedy Jr. took the New York Bar exam for the third time, he covered himself by taking Connecticut’s bar exam.
Sadie Green of the Connecticut Board of Bar Examiners confirmed that Kennedy took the test, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Connecticut’s test is reputed to be easier than New York’s, the newspaper said.
Kennedy, 29, took the New York exam July 24 and the Connecticut exam July 26.
Results for both bar exams could be announced as early as Friday.
Kennedy needs to pass the New York Bar exam to keep his job as a prosecutor in the office of Manhattan Dist. Atty. Robert Morgenthau, who allows assistants only three shots at the test.
Passing the Connecticut exam would allow him to practice in that state.
Kennedy’s sister, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, passed the New York exam on her first try last year.
