A Partnership of the New York State Bar Association Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction and the University at Buffalo School of Law's Clinical Legal Education Program.

The New York State Bar Association's Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction has created a Pro Bono Appeals Program to help meet the needs of the many litigants who need legal representation in state appellate courts, but cannot afford to hire an appellate attorney and are not eligible for assigned counsel. The Program serves litigants in upstate New York whose income is less than 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Representation is provided in selected appeals involving various civil issues including: shelter and housing, subsistence income and benefits, health and education, personal safety, and family stability. The Program does not provide representation for criminal issues.

This Program was made possible by the The New York Bar Foundation and the New York State Bar Association.
