The control and administration of the NYSBA (New York State Bar Association) is vested in the House of Delegates. The House of Delegates is the decision and policy-making body of the Association. The House meets four times a year (January, April, June and November. Action taken by the House of Delegates becomes official NYSBA policy. A simple representational formula allows for the diverse voices of lawyers within the state to be represented.
The Executive Committee has the authority to act and speak for the NYSBA, consistent with previous actions of the House of Delegates when the House is not in session. It also approves affirmative legislative proposals drafted by Sections and Committees.
