New York State Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman ’68, a vigorous proponent of providing access to justice for all New Yorkers, held a press conference at NYU Law on December 2 to announce a new initiative clearing roadblocks to increased pro bono service. The move will allow the state's thousands of in-house corporate counsel to represent pro bono clients on their own without admission to the New York State bar.
