Court-sponsored hearings on civil legal services to the indigent will begin Sept. 28. With as many as two million litigants appearing without counsel in New York courts in civil cases each year, Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman is seeking proposals for more reliable funding mechanisms that he will present to the governor and Legislature by late this year for inclusion in the 2011-12 state budget (NYLJ, May 4).
Hearings will be held in each of the Appellate Division’s four departments: on Sept. 28 at the First Department at 27 Madison Ave. in Manhattan; on Sept. 29 at the Fourth Department, 50 East Ave., Rochester; on Oct. 5 in the Third Department at the Court of Appeals, 20 Eagle St., Albany; and on Oct. 7 at the Second Department, 45 Monroe Place, Brooklyn. The sessions will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. except for the hearing in Rochester, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
