Coffey, Esq., Director of Litigation for Economic Justice at Mobilization for Justice Legal Services; Corina N. Stonebanks, Esq. formerly of the Brooklyn VLP; and the Hon. April Newbauer, former Attorney-in-Charge, The Legal Aid Society Queens Civil Practice. In July 2009, the Guidebook was adapted and updated by the sponsors of the Bronx CLARO Program to reflect developments in the law. It has been updated since then on a regular basis to reflect legal developments in the field. The Guidebook is available for use in other consumer debt programs; however, the CLARO program directors respectfully ask that future use of the materials credit the original source and authors of the Guidebook. v I. INTRODUCING THE CLARO PROGRAM A. CLARO The Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office (“CLARO”) is a limited, legal advice project for unrepresented debtor-defendants. CLARO is an innovative and collaborative effort that operates in the New York Civil Courts in all five boroughs – the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island – and in Westchester.1 CLARO also operates in Erie County. Volunteer attorneys and volunteer students at CLARO respond to the needs of unrepresented persons in consumer credit cases in various types of courts by advising litigants on self-representation strategies. Programs such as CLARO are part of a greater national pro se movement in legal services, which seeks to maximize legal resources for low-income individuals by providing limited-scope legal advice to unrepresented litigants. In January 2006, the first Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office opened in Kings County Civil Court, after months of planning and collaborative effort by the Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project and the Public Interest Center at Brooklyn Law School, in partnership with public interest practitioners and the Supervising Judge of Kings County Civil Court. Today CLARO is a highly regarded program, which is staffed by volunteer lawyers and students from local law schools and colleges and is run with the support of the pro bono programs of bar associations and legal service providers. While rich in diversity, New York City and New York State have significant indigent populations. Nine years after the deepest recession since the Great Depression, NYC residents continue to experience disconcertingly high levels of unemployment and wage depression. According to NYC's most recent census data, 20.3% New Yorkers lived in poverty.2 According to the leading NYC child advocacy organization, a stunning 26.6% of children in the City lived in poverty in 2016.3 Since 2008, the recovery has resulted in a net loss of nearly 34,000 high and middle-wage jobs compared to a net gain of over 100,000 low-income jobs that do not bring households above 1 CLARO operates with the support and collaboration of the New York City Civil Courts and of the Honorable Fern A.

Articles New York City Rules! Regulatory Models for Environmental and Public Health JASON J. CZARNEZKI* Scholars have become increasingly interested in facilitating improvement in environmental and public health at the local level. Over the lastfew years, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the New York City Council have proposed and adopted numerous environmental and public health initiatives, providing a useful case study for analyzing the development and success (or failure) of various regulatory tools, and offering larger lessons about regulation that can be extrapolated to other substantive areas. This Article, first, seeks to categorize and evaluate these "New York Rules," creating a new taxonomy to understanddifferent types of regulation. These "New York Rules" include bans, informational regulation, education, infrastructure,mandates, standard-setting, and economic (dis)incentives.

    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MANHATTAN VEHICLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY NEW YORK, NEW YORK Prepared by U.S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, HEW YORK, NEW/ORK 26 March I97U SUMMARY Draft ( ) Revised Draft ( ) Final (X) Environmental Statement Responsible Federal Agency: United States Postal Service A. TYPE OF ACTION Administrative (X) Legislative ( ) B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION Proposed development consists of a major U.S. Postal Service vehicle mainte­ nance facility (VMF) in combination with a multi-story housing project in the lower West Side of the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. The project will occupy an entire city block, presently vacant, adjacent to the Morgan Station mail processing center. Features of the proposed action are a multi­ story VMF, a housing project of approximately 860 units utilizing air rights space above the VMF, and the closure of 29th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues to non-postal traffic, except during the evening rush period.

    FINANCING FRESH AIR: INCENTIVIZING BOILER CONVERSIONS IN NEW YORK CITY ASSEMBLYMEMBER DAN QUART, JANUARY 2014 A BRIEF HISTORY OF POOR AIR QUALITY IN NEW YORK CITY In the 1950’s and 1960’s, New York City’s poor air quality was at crisis levels. Isolated smog events were widely reported as emergencies, killing hundreds over the course of a few separate weeks.1 In 1953, New York suffered from what is still the nation’s worst air pollution disaster: 11 days of smog during November resulted in the death of somewhere between 175 and 260 people, due to a temperature inversion.2, 3 Later, in the 1960’s, temperature inversions were responsible for two more pollution events, leading to the death of 200 people in 1963 and 168 in 1966.4 These individual events are attention-grabbing, but air quality before environmental regulation was also alarming. For example, sulfur dioxide, one of the earliest pollutants to be tracked, is now monitored at an order of magnitude higher than it was in the mid-twentieth century. A study of the 1953 smog crisis lists the normal level of sulfur dioxide at the end of the crisis as .09 ppm (parts per million).5 In 2013, sulfur dioxide levels were reported to have dropped from 5.6 ppb (parts per billion) to 1.7 ppb, or .0017ppm.6 We now know that the health effects of sulfur dioxide exposure, including bronchoconstriction and increased asthma symptoms, can be experienced at much lower levels than previously believed. Currently, the EPA has set a long-term standard for sulfur dioxide at .03 ppm, 300% lower than typical sulfur dioxide levels in the 1950’s.7 The lack of air quality monitoring throughout much of the 20th century ensures that we’ll never know exactly what the effects were of the poor air quality that plagued New York throughout the 20th century.

    Catalog of Courses, Scholarships and Partner Colleges 20092009 BUREAU OF TRAINING MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Dear Friends: I am pleased to introduce the 2009 Course Opportunities Catalog for the New York City Fire Department. FDNY’s uniformed and civilian workforce is the world’s best, and does so much to keep all New Yorkers safe. In fact, civilian fire fatalities remained at historically low levels in fiscal year 2008. This incredible achievement is no accident: no one is better prepared than our Bravest. Whether you’ve been in the Department for 20 days — or for 20 years — the training never ends. I know that this catalog will be a terrific resource as you continue that tradition by learning new skills that will contribute to your personal growth and the Department’s continued success. On behalf of all New Yorkers, thank you for your incredible dedication, service and sacrifice for our great City. Sincerely, Michael R. Bloomberg Mayor B UREAU OF T RAINING i MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE COMMISSIONER n my seven years as Commissioner of this great Department, I have made training a top prior- ity. From developing with Columbia University a high level management training course for Isenior officers, to nearly doubling the amount of training provided to probationary firefighters, the Department has done a great deal to address through improved training the many public safety challenges we face in today’s changing world. The key to a successful Department is a well-trained, highly motivated professional staff. The men and woman who wear the FDNY and Emergency Medical Service uniforms are out in the streets every day helping New Yorkers in need.
