He added, "Primary attention of the private organization will be focused on cases involving serious attorney misconduct and New York States lawyer grievance system, which has been widely found to be managed and controlled by money, favoritism and cronyism. "

Over the past several years, PCAC itself has been pursuing an ambitious and long overdue reform effort to replace the current failed attorney disciplinary system with a new structure controlled by non attorneys.
