Over the past decade, the Feerick Center, in collaboration with the Office of Court Administration, has recruited, placed and supported hundreds of experienced lawyers in pro bono positions where they provide civil legal assistance to low-income New Yorkers.
On December 2, Chief Judge DiFiore, Judge Lippman and Judge Mendelson will lead a program that will address New York’s Attorney Emeritus Program experiences, community volunteer mobilization and the impact of volunteerism with panels of experts and participating Attorney Emeritus organizations and volunteers.
Presently, 44 states support an Attorney Emeritus Program; we are privileged to announce that ABA President Martinez will share her national perspective with us.
We look forward to welcoming you on December 2, 2019.
