A NOTE FROM
Chair of the City Bar Fund & Executive Director of the New York City Bar Association The City Bar’s pro bono and public service programs have had a busy year coping with the consequences of extraordinary governmental actions on everyday people and on the institutions of civic society. Our dedicated legal and administrative staff deserve the appreciation of all of the Association’s members for their professionalism and perseverance in a particularly challenging operating environment. In turn, the Association’s membership — you — made that hard and vital work possible by supporting the largest and most effective local bar association pro bono and public interest effort in the country. Our City Bar Justice Center continued to focus on poverty law and underserved New Yorkers, while working with a broad set of constituencies to minimize the hardship inflicted by radically new federal immigration enforcement policies. Our Cryus R. Vance Center for International Justice expanded its reach, geographically and substantively, with new programs centered in Africa and new initiatives aimed at governmental corruption, investigative journalism, and the rule of law around the world. Our Diversity and Inclusion program has grown to become, over just the past few years, a singularly indispensable resource for law firms and law departments to gauge and enhance their progress. Our Lawyers Assistance Program has continued to expand its reach, from helping individual lawyers and judges to advising legal institutions about how best to prevent or mitigate the emotional difficulties that come with the job. Each of these programs is strategically focused on innovating to meet needs as they appear, operating in places and ways that other organizations are not so able, and focusing on issues where the collective influence of our 25,000-person membership can make a decisive difference, or at least influence situations in a positive way. Finally, we would like to thank the City Bar Fund’s Board of Directors, whose personal and institutional contributions to our programs nearly reached, and next year will likely exceed, seven figures in total for the year. And that does not count all of the direct pro bono work they do themselves. Between our Board’s leadership and the Association’s member support, we are in a strong position to anticipate and react to whatever new problems our clients and other constituencies may face.

A NOTE FROM
President of the New York City Bar Association The City Bar Fund is the engine that transforms the spirit and skills of our legal community into positive change for people in need. Your support for the City Bar Fund and its core programs makes a tremendous difference, both on individual lives and on a macro scale, from securing hardfought benefits for disabled veterans to advancing pro bono practice abroad. THE CITY BAR JUSTICE CENTER leverages the time and talent of the private bar to deliver legal services to vulnerable New Yorkers who cannot afford a lawyer. THE CYRUS R. VANCE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE collaborates with international law firms and other partners to provide pro bono legal representation to non-governmental organizations and develops pro bono systems around the world. OUR OFFICE FOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION guides law firms and businesses in making meaningful progress toward diversity through data-driven insights and administers programming that opens the legal profession to diverse future lawyers. OUR LAWYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM provides counseling and supportive resources to lawyers and judges dealing with mental health issues and other personal difficulties, helping to stabilize their lives and careers.
Thank you for making this work possible. We hope that the information that follows serves to confirm your commitment to our shared mission: to uphold the rule of law, expand access to justice and to the legal profession, and to improve the health, and therefore the strength, of our legal community.
Sincerely,
Roger Juan Maldonado President of the New York City Bar Association

City Bar Justice Center The City Bar Justice Center (CBJC) increases access to justice for low-income and disadvantaged New Yorkers by leveraging the volunteered time and expertise of the New York City legal community through an effective pro bono model. CBJC assists 26,000 New Yorkers annually through limited and full scope legal representation, community outreach, and education efforts. With a dozen core projects led by experts in the field, over 1,000 pro bono attorneys trained and mentored by staff, and the largest free civil legal hotline in New York, CBJC handles the ninth highest number of civil cases in the state.

Our Impact in 2017–2018 26,000 clients obtained over $19.5 million in benefits and monetary awards, including estate settlements
$1,095,477 in retroactive Veterans Disability benefits and over $39,361 in new, ongoing monthly benefits for veterans
$15+ Million in pro bono leveraged with pro bono volunteers working on over 1,376 client matters
$3+ Million in client debt divested through consumer, bankruptcy, and foreclosure prevention advocacy, and through avoidance of filing fees, estate taxes and tuition fees
Year in Review In 2017-2018, CBJC ramped up its pro bono efforts to protect New York’s most vulnerable residents in the face of new and ongoing threats to the rights and safety of the poor. CBJC’s Immigrant Justice Project (IJP) mobilized pro bono volunteers to hold Family Emergency Preparedness Clinics to assist undocumented immigrants in planning for the care of their citizen children in the event of the parent’s detention or deportation. IJP continued its work to place individual humanitarian cases with pro bono attorneys, organized screening clinics for post-Temporary Protected Status and DACA relief, held a naturalization clinic for college students, conducted research on ICE in the courts, and signed on to two amicus briefs drafted by Simpson Thacher. In response to the fall’s devastating hurricane season, CBJC co-sponsored a FEMA appeals training attended by 175 volunteer attorneys and recruited volunteers from the private bar to hold legal clinics for Hurricane Maria victims who had relocated to New York City. Collaboration with partners in the non-profit, judicial, governmental, and private sectors enables CBJC to continuously innovate to respond to the emerging legal needs of the poor. CBJC worked with four other service providers to develop and launch the NYC Consumer Help Finder, an online intake and triage tool for low-income New Yorkers applying for legal help with a consumer issue. CBJC’s Planning and Estates Law Project developed a medical-legal partnership with Mount Sinai Health Systems to help low-income Mount Sinai patients with end-of-life planning, including wills, Powers of Attorney, and guardianships of minor children. The Community Economic Development Unit, comprised of CBJC’s Consumer Bankruptcy Project, Neighborhood Entrepreneur Law Project and Homeowner Stability Project, launched an online Financial Empowerment Hub which hosts free resources to help low-income community members take control of their financial well-being, and also hosted a free three-part financial empowerment workshop series for microentrepreneurs.
I feel privileged to have the opportunity to advocate for clients and their families through CBJC legal clinics. I know that I am able to provide real assistance, thanks to the training and guidance I’ve received from CBJC personnel.

Year in Review 2017- 2018 was a year of further expansion for the Vance Center, which confirmed the new structure and procedures for the Pro Bono Network of the Americas, held the first annual conference in Mexico City in March 2018, and welcomed a new clearinghouse member in Uruguay. The Director of Pro Bono Partnerships also made great progress towards establishing a pro bono clearinghouse in Spain. The Lawyers Council for Civil and Economic Rights in the Americas developed strategic initiatives against corruption and in support of civil society. The Women in the Profession program’s 18 national chapters undertook diversity and pro bono programs, regularly sharing ideas and results. The Africa Program Manager relocated to Nairobi, Kenya, focusing on pro bono practice there and exploring opportunities for the WIP program there and in South Africa. Lawyers from Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa worked at leading New York law firms through the African Legal Fellows program. The Human Rights and Access to Justice Program began a Business and Human Rights initiative, including pro bono representation and conferences, and secured a 3-year grant from the Novo Foundation to analyze and reform incarceration of women in the global South. The Environment Program focused on justice for environmental defenders and the international legal response to climate change, among other matters. Through the work of the Good Governance Program, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists became independent and other nonprofit journalism organizations received advice and legal defense. The Vance Center Committee added new members from existing and new law firms and in-house legal departments.
We at International Rivers have had a great experience in working with the Vance Center on developing legal briefs to support our efforts to achieve permanent protection for rivers globally. Their experience, dedication and promptness in attending each case has provided very useful results to achieve our goals. We hope to continue working with the environment team in this capacity. We are grateful!

I first walked through the doors of the City Bar as a high school intern and am still active in the City Bar today as an attorney, 12 years later. The City Bar has been my home through the long and difficult journey to becoming a lawyer. I am fortunate to have mentors at the City Bar who are invested in my personal and professional success. It’s what makes the City Bar so unique.

Lawyer Assistance Program friends and supporters at the 2018 LAP Committee Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
Lawyer Assistance Program The inherently competitive and demanding nature of the practice of law makes lawyers particularly vulnerable to stress, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, compulsive behaviors, personal and professional problems. The Lawyer Assistance Program offers free, confidential help to attorneys, judges, law students, family members and colleagues who experience physical, psychological and social challenges that impact their personal lives and careers. LAP’s mission is to help attorneys build on their strengths by offering services that promote physical, emotional and mental well-being. LAP provides: evaluation and assessment; early identification of impairment; referral to appropriate treatment resources; short-term supportive counseling; monitoring and peer assistance; crisis intervention; consultation and information for those concerned about a legal professional and CLE and educational programs on preventing, recognizing and addressing addiction, stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. All lawyers, judges, law students, family members and concerned others in the five boroughs of New York City and Westchester are eligible for LAP services. You do not have to be a member of any bar association to access LAP assistance.

Year in Review 2017 saw the release of the ABA report, The Path to Lawyer Well-Being: Practical Recommendations for Positive Change, which opened the door for large law firms to begin a conversation about how they can establish an organizational infrastructure that promotes well-being. LAP provided presentations to lawyers and staff at twelve New York City law firms, addressing the high incidence of addiction and mental health problems in the profession. Presentations also provided guidelines for firms to recognize stress, minimize burnout, build resilience, reduce stigma, and provide empathy and support to lawyers and staff who may be struggling. LAP participated in an online ethics CLE for Lawline, received its first referrals from the Attorney Disciplinary Committees for Diversion Monitoring under the new NYS Disciplinary Rules, 22NYCRR Part 1240, and developed a protocol for lawyers and judges experiencing vicarious trauma as a result of working with clients who are experiencing trauma, abuse, violence, grief and loss.
The information I have gained, tools I have been equipped with, and support network I have built have been invaluable to my ongoing recovery. In all, I am grateful to be sober and to be really invested in my recovery. This entire episode has proven an unlikely gift: I have been in desperate need of help to address my alcoholism and substance abuse and the LAP has put me in a position to get that help and make significant progress in my recovery.
