Another New York public interest group has announced that – to protest its opposition to Arizona’s controversial new immigration law – it will boycott an American Bar Association-backed conference next week in Phoenix .
Legal Information for Families Today, a nonprofit that operates programs in New York City’s Family Courts, will not send three of its employees to the conference as originally planned, said Melissa Beck, the organization’s chief executive officer. The group announced its boycott as the ABA said it would move forward with the conference set for May 13-15 despite the loss of its co-sponsor, the National Legal Aid & Defender Association, and boycotts by other organizations.
