Correct Answer
C. An attorney admitted in New York or a Unified Court System court clerk appointed after a civil service promotional examination in the court clerk series
Detailed Explanation
The statute names two specific exceptions to the ordinary qualification review. Executive Law §130 excepts a New York-admitted attorney and a Unified Court System court clerk appointed after a civil service promotional examination in the court clerk series. For contrast, residence in an adjoining state alone does not create that exception.
