2016 ANNUAL REPORT Lawyers caring. Lawyers sharing. Around the corner. Around the state. President’s Message The online definition of philanthropy, according to merriam-webster.com reads, “. . . the practice of giving money and time to help make life better for other people.” In early 2016 I invited you to participate in our “Have an Impact” campaign to raise more funds toward our goal of doubling our grant program.

As you know, the grant program works to support those in need of legal assistance through non-profit legal service organizations, making life better for those desperately in need, across the entirety of New York State.

I am pleased to report that a great number of first-time donors have helped us, by their donations to help others during 2016. Our very profession, a helping profession, parallels the goal of philanthropy to “make life better for other people.” The profession of law is a calling that serves the public good. We provide a systemic matrix for the ordering of the affairs of our country and for the resolution of disputes. Lawyers serve the public. Because of you, The Foundation is able to advance our calling in many ways. Your gifts: • assist in providing funds for our grant program to help legal service organizations offer assistance to those desperately in need; “I am proud to work • assist in providing fellowships and scholarships for law students to better hone their skills and offset their law school expenses; with you, the Board • help demonstrate the caring side of the profession, highlighting how attorneys can and of Directors, and staff do make a difference, and • assist in creating new funds to meet the changing needs of society, such as the new Hon. of The Foundation Judith S.

A Message to The Fellows My holiday season begins with the purchase of a wreath for my front door to welcome friends, family and to signify everlasting life and growth. Desired Christmas gifts have moved away from gifts of store-bought items to gifts of experiences. Fellows are invited to join The Foundation to support all of its important work and experience the joy of making a difference in someone’s life can have.

Our Foundation utilizes circles to signify various levels of giving and support. We proudly wear our ribbons, colored to signify the circles we belong to, for all to see. The ribbons are tangible evidence of our support of Foundation philanthropy and, much like a wreath on my door, invite friends and colleagues to talk about The Foundation and ways to grow and enhance their support. Not as evident, but just as important, is the result of these circles and the impact they can have on life and growth.

When you are invited to become involved in the Fellows it brings the honor of being recognized as a legal professional within your community who acknowledges that the practice of law is a helping profession and that attorneys, as custodians of the legal system, have enhanced obligations of service to the community, to the profession, and to promote justice “Like the wreath on through the rule of law.

At the age of 16, Julian fled his abusive home and made the dangerous journey to the United States. He was apprehended at the border and placed in removal (deportation) proceedings. We met Julian during our regular intake at Immigration Court. Fortunately, Julian had a cousin who gave him a home in New York City. We successfully petitioned the Family Court to appoint Julian’s cousin as his guardian, and to make factual findings necessary for Julian to petition for Special Immigrant Juvenile Statues. Based on that petition, the Immigration Judge terminated his removal case. Julian received his green card in March 2016, and is now studying English and working part time, well on his way to transitioning successfully into a stable life.
