Voting rights lie at the core of our American democracy, and legal professionals are uniquely suited to preserve and promote those rights in service to the rule of law. Strong voting rights mean that all eligible voters are encouraged and able to vote in free and fair elections, and that those elections are administered in a nonpartisan manner before, during and after the voting. The New York City Bar Association has authored the Nine Principles for America’s Lawyers, and to provide an opportunity for legal professionals of good conscience and whatever political leaning to come together and reaffirm a core set of rapidly-eroding democratic values.
The Network of Bar Leaders invites you to sign this pledge in support of the Nine Principles, and to join the City Bar and others in lifting the voices of our colleagues around the country.
