NYC Bar Association Seeks New Criminal Justice Proposals in 2020 Legislative Agenda
As New York has begun to implement the largest overhaul of its criminal justice laws in decades, the New York City Bar Association on Tuesday called on the state Legislature to build on those changes with a slew of other reforms intended to benefit defendants. Those changes were included in a list of priorities from the NYCBA for this year’s legislative session, which is scheduled to start Wednesday in Albany. Many of those initiatives haven’t yet been seriously considered by members of the state Legislature, who had an appetite last year to enact changes in law that were intended to benefit defendants, particularly those wrongfully accused of a crime.
