Can partners donate to the campaign?

No! Anyone and everyone at your firm are encouraged to support the Associates' Campaign. It's called the Associates' Campaign because its led by associates, but anyone can donate.

When does the campaign end? 

The campaign runs from April 1 to June 30 at 11:59pm. This website will be unable to accept donations after June 30.

My firm only has 10 associates, can we still participate?

Yes! The Associates' Campaign has firms ranging in size from under 10 associates to over 700. Firms are ranked overall and by size, so you're only competing against peer firms that have similar numbers of associates.

The Legal Aid Society is built on one simple but powerful belief: that no New Yorker should be denied the right to equal justice. We seek to create a better New York City for everyone—regardless of who they are, where they come from, or how they identify.

From our start 150 years ago, our growth has mirrored that of the city we serve. Today, we are proud to be the largest, most influential social justice law firm in one of the most diverse cities in the world. 

The Associates’ Campaign has been a tradition at The Legal Aid Society for over 40 years. Led by Associates at New York City’s top law firms, the campaign brings together attorneys to engage in friendly competition and raise vital funds to support Legal Aid’s under resourced units.
