New York Attorneys Affirmation is an oath taken by attorneys in the state of New York to uphold the standards of professional conduct while practicing law. It is intended to protect the public’s trust in the legal profession. It is required for attorneys to be admitted to practice law in New York and to be eligible for membership in the New York State Bar Association. The affirmation is typically taken in front of a court or by signing a document. There are two types of New York Attorneys Affirmation: the New York State Bar Association’s Affirmation and the New York Court of Appeals’ Attorneys’ Oath. The former is taken by all attorneys admitted to practice law in New York, while the latter is taken by attorneys who wish to be admitted to the highest court in the state. Both affirmations require attorneys to pledge to uphold the standards of legal ethics and provide competent and zealous representation to their clients.
