Pro Bono Project 

The Albany Law Review is proud to announce a new component of our journal: the ALR Pro Bono Project. This project offers our students the opportunity to perform public service by providing legal support to local organizations in the criminal justice field. Specifically, it is a bifurcated program specifically structured for and completed by the Law Review. One part of the project provides legal research and writing assistance to the Albany County Public Defender’s office. The other, in partnership with the Albany County Reentry Task Force ("ACRTF"), attempts to reduce barriers to effective reintegration of state prisoners into the Albany County community. 

This year, the Law Review has provided over 96 hours of Pro Bono service through these two projects.

On October 14, 2010, the Albany Law Review presented a symposium exploring the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.  Panelists explored the possibility of lawsuits arising from the private sector, as well as civil and criminal claims from several state and federal government agencies.  The symposium helped gauge the repercussions of causing such terrific economic and environmental harm and outlined how legal action can be used to shape the new laws and regulations that will undoubtedly arise from this ordeal.
