§ 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.
