About the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York

The Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York (LRANY) is a non-partisan 501(c)(4) nonprofit

organization which advocates for reform of New York’s legal system in order to foster

a better business climate, promote job growth, and address the growing cost of

lawsuit abuse. LRANY’s members include local and national businesses,

entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, and taxpayers from across the state.

Executive Summary

This report analyzes spending by trial lawyers on state-level elected officials between

January 1st, 2013 and December 31st, 2013. The report builds upon LRANY’s 2012

report, which is available at http://www.nylawsuitreform.org/wp-

content/uploads/2011/04/Trial-Bar-Campaign-Finance-Report-2012.pdf. This report

relies on publically available information to examine the three main components of

monetary influence:

- Lobbying expenditures

- Campaign contributions by trial lawyer political action committees (PACs)

- Independent campaign contributions by law firms and lawyers

Notes on Political Influence in New York

This report expresses influence as a product of lobbying and campaign contributions.

While both mechanisms are commonly used to influence elected officials, they differ in

several key respects.

Lobbying is defined, broadly, as activities meant to influence the passage or defeat of

any legislation by either house of the state legislature or approval or disapproval of any

legislation by the governor. Lobbying, in short, involves legislation, orders, and rules. All

persons or organizations which spend more than $5,000 in any given year must register

as a lobbyist with the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) and disclose all

lobbying-related spending publically. There is no monetary limit on lobbying spending in

New York.

Campaign contributions are defined, broadly, as expenditures expressly made to impact

the outcome of an election of a public official. All campaign contributions are reported

to the state Board of Elections. In New York, individuals and limited liability companies

(LLCs) may make up to $150,000 in political contributions annually, incorporated

businesses and nonprofits may contribute up to $5,000, and partnerships may

contribute up to $150,000 per individual partner.1 Campaign contributions by special

interest groups are typically made through an associated political action committee

(PAC). The New York State Trial Lawyers Association operates the LAWPAC committee,

and the New York Academy of Trial Lawyers operates the ATL PAC committee. These

committees and their related organizations are used interchangeably in this report for

purposes of convenience and clarity.

It is important to bear in mind three important points about this data. First, this report

analyzes only the monetary inputs2 into state politics – the report does not attempt to

quantify the outputs resulting from or attributable to such activity (for example, the

enactment of legislation which is beneficial to trial lawyers). Second, this report does

not analyze mechanisms of influence which are not quantifiable in monetary terms or

not publically disclosed. Lastly, this report assumes that elected officials’ sources of

outside income, for example serving “of counsel” to a law firm, are legitimate.3

1 Because most law firms are organized as partnerships rather than corporations, their ability to make

campaign contributions is substantially higher than other businesses of comparable size. 2 The reader is cautioned not assume that such monetary contributions are indicative of a quid pro quo

arrangement between the contributor and the elected official. 3 On July 2, 2013, Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed the “Commission to Investigate Public Corruption”

under the Moreland Act and Executive Law Section 63(8) to probe systemic public corruption in New York State. The Commission issued subpoenas seeking information on the clients of lawyer-legislators. However, as part of the 2014 Executive Budget negotiations, Governor Cuomo agreed to terminate the Commission before this investigation was concluded.

Summary of Findings

Lobbying In 2013, the two trial lawyer special interest groups, the New York State Trial Lawyers

Association (NYSTLA) and New York Academy of Trial Lawyers (NYATL), spent a record

high $1,147,139 lobbying New York elected officials, representing a 9.7% increase over

the previous year and a 37% increase since 2010.

Campaign Contributions

In 2013, trial lawyers as a whole1 made $1,280,639 in political contributions to state

elected officials, including:

- $500,085 from NYSTLA and NYATL political action committees

- $780,608 from individual trial lawyers and law firms associated with NYSTLA

and NYATL

In 2013, NYSTLA, the larger of the two trial lawyer special interest group in New York,

contributed $457,685 to the campaigns of 69% of all the members of the legislature,

including:

- 79% of the Senate

- 65% of the Assembly

In 2013, NYSTLA contributed $319,600 to party committee accounts:

- $102,300 to the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee

- $50,000 to the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee

- $102,300 to the Senate Republican Committee

- $25,000 to the Republican Assembly Committee

- $40,000 to the Senate Independent Democratic Conference committee

In 2013, trial lawyers as a whole contributed $747,750 to statewide office campaigns,

including:

- $451,750 to gubernatorial candidates

- $265,750 to Attorney General candidates

- $30,250 to Comptroller candidates

Methodology

Sources

Data for this report was aggregated from publically available reports. Figures for

lobbying expenditures were obtained from the Joint Commission on Public Ethics

(JCOPE), and totals for campaign contributions were calculated using New York State

Board of Elections campaign finance disclosure reports.

Total lobbying dollars were calculated as the sum total of all “reportable lobbying

expenses” and “reportable lobbying compensation” reported on the JCOPE Client Semi-

Annual Reports of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the New York State

Academy of Trial Lawyers.

Total trial lawyer PAC campaign contributions were calculated as the sum total of all

campaign contributions to candidates by the two trial lawyer political action

committees, LAWPAC and ATL PAC. In terms of total dollar contributions, LAWPAC is

the dominant committee by an overwhelming margin. In the cases where ATL PAC did

not make political contributions, only contributions by LAWPAC were analyzed.

Contributions by law firms and lawyers were calculated by identifying contributions

made to candidates by individuals and firms who also contributed to LAWPAC and ATL

PAC. This process of reverse engineering contribution data is detailed in the graphic

below, with the red arrow representing the contributions identified in this component.

Exploring the Influence

Overview

This section explores, to the extent possible,

the recipients of trial lawyer money. Lobbying

expenditures are not attributed to individual

elected officials - only campaign contributions

have traceable beneficiaries.1 Therefore, this

analysis focuses on campaign contributions by

PACs and individual law firms and lawyers.

Executive Branch

New York’s three elected statewide positions – Governor, Attorney General, and

Comptroller – serve four year terms and are not subject to term limits.

Governor/Lieutenant Governor

In 2013, LAWPAC contributed a total of $10,000 to Governor Andrew Cuomo. ATL

PAC did not make any contributions. Individual lawyers and law firms affiliated with

NYSTLA and NYATL contributed $441,750.

Attorney General

In 2013, ATL PAC contributed $1,000 to Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

LAWPAC did not make any contributions. Individual lawyers and law firms affiliated

with NYSTLA and NYATL contributed $264,750.

Comptroller

In 2013, LAWPAC contributed a total of $19,500 to Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

ATL PAC did not make any contributions. Individual lawyers and law firms affiliated

with NYSTLA and NYATL contributed $10,750.

1 Lobbying reports disclose which bodies the organization has lobbied, and the number or description of

any specific legislation or regulation lobbied. During 2013, both NYSTLA and NYATL reported that they lobbied the Governor and both houses of the state legislature.

9

Party Committees

In addition to contributing to campaigns directly, NYSTLA also supports candidates by

making contributions to party committees. These committees may receive up to

$102,300 annually1 per individual or partnership, up to $5,000 annually from a

corporation, and may make unlimited contributions to candidates. Between 2006 and

2013, LAWPAC made substantial contributions to party committees, frequently reaching

the legal maximum.

The Legislature

Much of the New York State Trial Lawyers

Association’s campaign contributions are

directed to members of the legislature. In

2013, 69% of state legislators received

campaign contributions from LAWPAC,

totaling $457,685.

Legislative Committees

All legislation must be reviewed by the

appropriate legislative committees before

being considered for a vote by the full house. Our analysis of campaign finance data

reveals that NYSTLA makes substantial campaign contributions to the committees which

consider legislation relating to civil law (Judiciary and Codes, in the Senate and

Assembly), as well as the powerful Rules and Finance/Ways and Means committees. The

graphics on the following pages highlight the extent of these contributions for the

respective committees during the 2013.

11

Rules Committees

The Rules committees are chaired by leaders of each house, the Senate President Pro

Tempore and the Assembly Speaker respectively, and are populated by the senior

members of each party. The Rules committees have broad influence over the flow

and passage of legislation. Accordingly, a majority of the members of the Rules

committees receive campaign contributions from NYSTLA.

Finance Committees

The Senate Finance committee, and its equivalent, the Assembly Ways and Means

committee, are responsible for approving all legislation which has a fiscal impact on

the state. These committees are also responsible for reviewing the Governor’s

Executive Budget and proposing changes. The Finance and Ways and Means

committees are chaired by senior members, and like the Rules committees, receive

substantial contributions from NYSTLA.

Judiciary Committees

The Judiciary committees are responsible for considering legislation which affects the

civil practice law and rules. As these committees focus on legislation which directly

impacts the practice of law, members of these committees frequently receive

sizeable campaign contributions from NYSTLA.

Codes Committees

The Codes committees have broad jurisdiction over legislation which affects the

criminal code. These committees also occasionally consider legislation with civil

impacts as well.

Lawyers and Law Firms While the New York State Trial Lawyers Association is a major political contributor, the

aggregate political spending of individual trial lawyers and law firms is greater still.

Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the individual lawyers and law firms

made $780,608 in political contributions to state-level candidates.

Conclusions

The findings in this report provide insight into the monetary inputs of trial lawyers in

state-level politics in New York. The data indicates the following:

- Trial lawyers are a highly influential special interest group in state-level

politics, as evidenced by the high overall level of spending on lobbying and

campaign contributions.

- Aggregating individual contributions by NYSTLA and NYATL contributors

reveals that the trial lawyer political influence is far greater than is commonly

reported – these contributions are more than double the total monetary

contributions by lawyer political action committees.

- NYSTLA has sufficient resources to seek influence in a targeted manner

through contributions to key leaders and legislative committees, and in a

broad manner through contributions to a majority of the legislature as a

whole.

While this report does not explore the specific outcomes of trial lawyer political and

lobbying spending, the scale and scope of the spending shows that trial lawyers as a

whole expend considerable resources to promote their agenda of increasing profits for

their members. Many recent efforts to reform New York’s civil justice system have

stalled in Albany, and the political and lobbying spending of the trial lawyers outlined in

this report is unquestionably a major obstacle to reform.
