Mandatory Pro Bono for Admission: the Domino Effect?

Posted on October 23, 2012 by ProBonoGA

Reblogged from ABA Center for Pro Bono Exchange:

The New Jersey Law Journal reported late last week that New Jersey is considering implementing a mandatory pro bono requirement for admission to the New Jersey Bar. Chief Justice Rabner and the New Jersey Supreme Court have requested an evaluation of New York's recently released rule requiring all admission seekers to complete at least 50 hours of pro bono service before they can be admitted to the bar.
