Justice Gap Remains Wide, Hearing Witnesses Say
New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, City Corporation Counsel Zachary Carter and New York City Bar Association president Debra Raskin were among nine people who testified before Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman on the city’s progress in expanding civil legal services while warning of work ahead if the judiciary expects to make good on its goal of equal justice for all….Raskin said that increased state funding has enabled the City Bar Justice Center, the bar association’s pro bono arm, to provide more opportunities and training for pro bono lawyers.
