For their dedication in assisting low-income New Yorkers to gain access to quality legal services, four attorneys and a nonprofit organization have been recognized with the Denison Ray Awards, given by the Department of Pro Bono Affairs of the New York State Bar Association.

"Each of the Denison Ray Award recipients has had a positive impact on the most vulnerable citizens in our society," said State Bar President James (The Legal Aid Society in New York City). "I congratulate all of this year's honorees. They have done a remarkable job upholding the proudest traditions of our profession."

The awards were presented September 13 during the 2012 Legal Assistance Partnership Conference.

At the same event, Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman and State Bar President James were recognized for their significant contributions in promoting access to justice for low-income New Yorkers.
