ALBANY – Information provided by New York attorneys about the number of pro bono hours and the amount of money they donate annually will not be subject to public disclosure, at least for now, the Office of Court Administration said Thursday.
The confidentiality policy will be effective immediately and continue through at least April 2015, according to Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman and Chief Administrative Judge A. Gail Prudenti. Attorneys will be allowed to waive confidentiality and make their reports subject to disclosure, though the courts said it will take some time for new forms to reflect that option.
