Kurt Denk, executive director of the City Bar Justice Center, pointed out the human impact of the proposed IOLA sweep, which threatens to dismantle established services essential to New Yorkers lacking legal representation. “The risk of the governor’s proposed ‘IOLA Sweep’ for IOLA-funded organizations like the City Bar Justice Center and 80 other IOLA grantees across New York State is a deeply human one because it risks unsettling longstanding services that provide those essentials of life to our neighbors who cannot afford legal help,” said Denk.
