New York Malpractice

Are lawyers in New York needed to carry malpractice insurance?

No, and many lawyers who practice by themselves are not.

No, lawyers in New York City are absolutely not required to purchase malpractice insurance. Neither the standards of professional conduct, or any other law or rule requires.

Does not look like that.

Here ... http://www.law.cornell.edu/ethics/ny/cod ... NY is the Code of Professional Responsibility. It does not seem to talk about insurance at all.
