STATEMENT BY BAR ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT VINCENT E. DOYLE III ON PROPOSED 2012-2013 NEW YORK STATE BUDGET

“We previously announced our support of the proposed Judiciary budget and are pleased that Governor Andrew Cuomo is supportive. We will actively work to achieve its enactment without
any cuts.

“The New York State Bar Association will issue a report this week that demonstrates that, while the court system remains functioning, last year’s budget cuts caused real harm to our system of justice.”
