The State Bar Association has been extremely supportive of and extensively involved in our efforts to expand access to civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers. Given our partnership in this regard, I believe State Bar week is a perfect opportunity for me both to report on the latest developments and to express my gratitude for the association’s help.
This fall, I presided over four hearings on civil legal services, one in each judicial department, to assess the extent and nature of unmet civil legal services needs in the state. Presiding with me, in addition to the presiding justice in each department and Chief Administrative Judge Ann Pfau, were current state bar president Stephen P. Younger in the First and Second departments; former president Kathryn Grant Madigan in the Third Department; and president-elect Vincent E. Doyle III in the Fourth Department.
