The NY State Coalition of Medical-Legal Partnerships is working on legislation to amend the NY state public health law to include medical-legal partnership. Attached is the draft legislation. This is proposed language; it has not yet been introduced.

The genius in the program is the bringing together of the lawyer into the medical clinic where these problems surface, which enables the doctor to include the legal remedy as part of the medical treatment. No longer is the doctor limited by the scope of his practice, and the lawyer is introduced to the problem in its most apparent manifestation.
