Internal Revenue Service, 858 F. 2d 876 (1988) which held that certain of our Judiciary Committee's activities constitute participation in campaign activities. The Committee evaluates candidates for judgeships and District Attorney in New York City and determines whether each candidate is qualified or not qualified for the office he or she seeks.

The Association's collection is held primarily for research and educational purposes. A portion of the library is composed of irreplaceable research materials and rare and antique books. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for this type of asset, the collection has not been reported as an asset in the Association's statements of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets for the year in which the items were acquired, or as decreases in temporarily restricted net assets if the assets used to purchased the items have been restricted by donors. During fiscal-year 2016, the Association used an auction house to sell many of these rare items. Schedule D - Part III - Line 4 See response above to Part III, line 1a and 4 Library collections enable research into legal topics, furthering the educational purposes of the Association. Schedule D - Part V - Line 4 The endowment is used to purchase books and reference materials of the library, upkeep the facilities of the Association and conduct the operations to fulfill the Association's mission as stated in Part III, line 1 of Form 990. Schedule D - Part X - Line 2 The Association follows the provision of the financial accounting standards board's (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") topic 740, income taxes relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. For the Association, these provisions could be applicable to the incurrence of unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") attributable to certain of its space-rental activities and certain of its publications. Since the association has always accrued a liability for the excise tax related to its political activities and because of the association's general tax-exempt status, management believes asc topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the association's financial statements.
