The NYS Bar is comprised of 5 departments, according to geography. You can practice in any department once you are admitted.

I just find it strange that he was admitted in the (Upstate) Third Department, rather than the First or Second, which cover NYC and the surrounding areas.

If it allows him to practice in Hancock NY, then it's no mystery.
