Respectfully urges Office of Attorney Ethics to examine and audit actions of legal aid organizations.

This resolution (AR 39) asks the Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) to examine and audit legal aid organizations that receive state funding and provide free legal services to low-income residents. It specifically requests the OAE review these organizations' service quality and investigate client complaints about mistreatment, threats, or sexual intimidation by attorneys. The resolution directly affects legal aid groups serving vulnerable populations, as these clients often cannot afford alternative representation. It does not create new laws but urges oversight to ensure adequate and ethical service delivery. The resolution is currently under review by the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
