Profession, Legal Education & Organization of the BarAddressing legal and policy issues attendant to professional and judicial ethics, responsibility and discipline.
The City Bar's mission calls for elevating the profession by encouraging appropriate standards of professional and judicial ethics, competence, civility and integrity. We work to address all aspects of the legal profession to ensure the fair administration of justice. This is achieved through examination of ethical issues facing practitioners and recommendations as to potential changes in the standards that govern the conduct of lawyers; monitoring the role and function of the disciplinary and licensing processes; helping New York lawyers understand and comply with their ethical obligations; and promoting pro bono legal services.
