New York State District Attorneys Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New York State District Attorneys Association (NYSDAA) (created in 1909) is a professional organization for prosecuting attorneys (both District Attorneys and Assistant District Attorneys) practicing in New York State.

The membership of the NYSDAA is comprised of all of the elected District Attorneys, as well as many Assistant District Attorneys, from the 62 New York State counties. In 2002, the NYSDAA reported its total membership to be approximately 1,000.

[edit] Lobbying

The NYSDAA lobbies the New York State legislature on behalf of its members.

All of the links on the Publications page on the NYSDAA website are about the importance of continuing the status quo in the War on Drugs, as begun in New York State in 1973 with the Rockefeller drug laws.
