Do you need to look up cases or do other research? There are links to the Federal Government, New York State Government and other related sites on the New York Bar Association website. Under the Federal Government an attorney can research the executive branch and link to the websites of all the departments in the branch. The Circuit Court of Appeals and the cases are available in the Judiciary link. In the Legislative Branch information is available for the:
 
  • House Web
  • Library of Congress- World Wide Web Server
  • The United States Senate
  • THOMAS: Legislative Information on the Internet
  • United States House of Representatives

The New York Bar Association lists organizations for pro bono work that are looking for volunteers to assist. The New York State Bar Association presents awards for pro bono work done through the year to individual attorneys, to law firms who encouraged staff to provide pro bono services and to a group of law students and one single law student who dedicated their time to aid a pro bono organization.


Attorneys have access to a Lawyer Referral Service through the site and also a Legal Recruiter Directory, Law Firm and Employer Directory and a Temporary Legal Staffing search for positions available. Members also have access to member benefits and savings programs. The site offers links to many legal research sources that are conveniently linked to from the New York State Bar Association web site. If an attorney is thinking to move or begin working in another state the attorney has access to the entire list of state bar associations that can make the change easier to the new state bar association.

The New York State Bar Association website extends links to the following Law Practice Resource Management services:
 
  • Departing a Law Firm
  • Disaster Planning and Recovery
  • Document Management
  • Escrow Accounts
  • Gender Equity Self Evaluation
  • A Report on Balance Lives in the Law

There is also a resource center for the solo practitioner and small firms which offer help with:
 
  • Technology in the firm
  • Marketing/Client Development
  • Employment Issues/Human Resources
  • Risk Management and Law Practice Management

There are so many book resources for the solo practitioner who needs a third party business opinion at times in Law Office Procedure used in the small firms and private firms. Members can obtain this book and others at special pricing like the New York Lawyer's Desk book and the New York Lawyer's Formbook.

Any topic or issue of interest to a practicing attorney can be found or linked to through the New York State Bar Association website. Many of the sites you can visit without being a member. All the information above you can go to with the exception of downloading forms and doing certain research through the site. It is easy to be a member to the site just by providing some information of yourself and your firm. The site keeps you updated on events and connects you to blogs for interesting discussions. If you have discovered the website in your state, then take some time to investigate. They are a great resource for help and information.
