Working Group on Facial Recognition Technology & Access to Legal Representation

The Working Group on Facial Recognition Technology and Access to Legal Representation shall examine the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of facial recognition and other technology to restrict individual freedoms, including but not limited to attendance at events or entrance into venues as well as the propriety of the use of this and other technology on a lawyer’s ability to represent clients without fear of retribution. The Working Group will also consider how the use of technology can prohibit the ability of members of the legal profession to provide effective representation of clients and disrupt access to justice. The Working Group shall make any necessary policy recommendations to the NYSBA Executive Committee.
