The New York State Bar Association’s Pro Bono Appeals Program provides free representation to litigants of modest means in selected appeals to the Appellate Division, Third and Fourth Judicial Departments. Litigants must make 250% or less of Federal Poverty Guidelines to be eligible for representation. Covered topics are family law, public benefits including unemployment insurance, education, housing, and health. The volunteer attorneys who handle appeals all have appellate expertise. Most volunteers are members of the NYSBA Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction, which selects appeals for representation based on several factors, including the merit of the appeal, its potential impact, and whether assigned counsel is available. Staff support is provided by the Rural Law Center of New York and The Legal Project.
