ALBANY— To commemorate the first annual Pro Bono Week (October 25-31), the New York State Bar Association has launched a new campaign called The Good We Do to recognize the significant contributions made by the scores of attorneys across the state who donate their time, services and expertise to help others in need. Among the attorneys being singled out by the Association are the members of the Association’s Animals and the Law Committee.

The committee is marking National Pro Bono Week and World Animal Week by making available its authoritative animal law-related resources to members of the public and to the legal profession. These educational and informational materials are now available online at http://www.nysba.org/animalweek.

"These helpful and wide-ranging educational tools are the result of the dedicated efforts of the committee’s members to make a difference for animals and people," said Committee Chair James F. Gesualdi of Islip. “We are extremely pleased to provide this information as part of our contribution to Animal Week and to National Pro Bono Week.”
