Lawyer Referral Service
Pro Bono Services
The New York State Bar Association does not provide direct pro bono services to the public.
If you would like a referral to your local civil legal service organizations and resources please email probono@nysba.org with your legal issue.
If you have a civil legal question, please visit the ny.freelegalanswers.org website for assistance.
If you need an attorney and cannot afford one, the following list of Non-Profit Legal Services Providers has been provided to the New York State Bar Association by NYSBA’s Committee on Families and the Law via the Legal Services for NYC SCR Working Group and the NYS Citizen Review Panel for Child Protective Services.
Please note that our volunteer attorneys on the Free Legal Answers platform cannot provide representation and can only provide limited pro bono assistance.
Law, Youth and Citizenship
The Law, Youth and Citizenship (LYC) Program was established in 1974 to promote civic and law-related education in New York’s public and private schools. The LYC Program has a long history of providing educational resources and programming to educators throughout New York. The LYC now focuses on supporting one of the largest high-school mock trial programs in the country, creating programming for educators through webinars and conferences, and monitoring state and federal legislation that could impact the New York educational system.
