Michael E. Getnick
President, New York State Bar
Association
Attorney Michael E. Getnick took office June 1, 2009 as 112th
President of the 76,000-member New York State Bar Association,
pledging to help both lawyers and people in need of legal services to
deal with the enormous challenges the current economic downturn has
created. He is a partner of Getnick Livingston Atkinson &
Priore, LLP, of Utica, New York and is of counsel to Getnick and Getnick
of New York City.
“Lawyers and law firms are struggling with the
same kinds of business issues every other business is struggling
with,” said Getnick. “We need members of our
profession to know that, at times like this, they have an ally in the
State Bar Association, and that we’re going to focus on them and
their issues and offer programs and services to help them."
He received his undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University
in 1966, where he was an NCAA Division 1 basketball
player, and earned his law degree from Cornell University in
1969.
