The president of the New York State Bar Association will ask his group’s policy-setting body Saturday to adopt a resolution calling for significant changes in rules requiring New York lawyers to report their pro bono contributions.
President Glenn Lau-Kee’s resolution to the state bar’s House of Delegates will address objections that state bar members have raised since Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman announced the pro bono disclosure rules in 2013, and the negotiations that Kee and state bar President-Elect David Miranda have conducted this year with top state court administrators on altering the reporting rules.
