[We were] cleared for the TEB 8 departure. My copilot briefed me on the departure. He said it was climb runway heading to 1;500 FT then turn right 280 and continue climb to 2;000 FT. I have flown this departure before; but last time it was the TEB 6. I knew there were changes made and trusted my copilot (ATP) to correctly interpret the departure description. ATC noticed the deviation and told us to descend to 1;500 FT. I complied. The flight was concluded without further incident. After finishing the flight; I reviewed the departure to ensure understanding.
The Reporter stated that the departure was from Runway 24. ATC stated that no action would be taken as a result of the altitude deviation.
A BE90 First Officer incorrectly briefed the Captain about the TEB 8 Runway 24 level off procedure so he climbed to 2;000 FT early; but descended to 1;500 FT after being notified of the error by ATC.
