The Noya Fields Family Funds is a group of charitable foundations that provide funding and support to non-profit organizations primarily in the United States. The organization operates through two donor advised funds, one with The New York Community Trust the other with The California Community Foundation.
The Trust was founded in 1920, when a group of New York banks came together to create a charitable trust that would support philanthropic activity in New York. [4] The Trust's first grant was awarded in 1924, when Rosebel G. Schiff gave $1,000 to establish a fund in memory of her principal at P.S. 9.
The U.S. state of New York was the last state using the Code for many years, long after all other states–except California and Maine–had adopted the Model Rules. [3] On December 17, 2008, the administrative committee of the New York courts announced that it had adopted a heavily modified version of the Model Rules, effective April 1, 2009.

Family trusts are meant to live beyond the grantor's life. A family trust has an extended lifespan that enables it to distribute assets based on designated milestones (ie., marriage, having children).
The duty to report misconduct is one of the ethical duties imposed on attorneys in the United States by the rules governing professional responsibility. [1] With certain exceptions, an attorney who becomes aware that either a fellow attorney or a judge has committed an act in violation of the rules of ethical conduct must report that violation.
[61] The First Circuit does the same, but also holds attorneys to the rules of conduct for the state "in which the attorney is acting at the time of the misconduct" as well as the rules of the state of the court clerk's office. [62] Because federal district courts sit within a single state, many use the professional conduct rules of that state.
In Tanzania, professional ethics for the members of private bar (advocates) are regulated by the Advocates Act, Cap. 341 which is principal legislation and the Advocates (Professional conducts and Etiquette) Regulations, 2018 (Government Notice No. 118 of 2018) which is subsidiary legislation enacted by the National Advocates Committee (formerly known as the Advocates Committee).
