Although New York has taken the lead in establishing these requirements for bar admission, 21 national law schools require students to complete pro bono work to fulfill graduation requirements, according to The Wall Street Journal.

If your phone rings Thursday at 7 p.m., it's likely State Rep. Madeleine Dean
State Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-153, will hold a town hall tonight. The venue? Your couch. Tonight at 7 p.m. everyone’s phone in the 153rd district will ring. If you answer and stay on the line, you’ll be able to participate in a teleconference with Dean. It’s the first time the State Representative’s office has done something like this, according to Jim Strine, media specialist with the House Democratic Caucus. “What happens is basically we contract with a company that generates thousands of calls into the 153rd and it tells people to hold the line and they’ll be patched into the meeting,” Strine said. “Everyone can hear [Dean] speak live.” Strine said residents, via their phones, can press a number to “raise their hand” to have an …
