The 50-Hour Pro Bono Requirement for the New York Bar

by: Kandice Thorn

UPDATE: The same day that this post was written, the Court of Appeals updated it's guidance with respect to the timing of the 50 hours for LL.M. students.  See "Can I Complete it Before Beginning the LL.M. Program?" below for the updated information.

As most of you know, the New York Court of Appeals recently approved a new rule that requires all applicants to the New York bar to complete 50 hours of pro bono service prior to admission.  I hope this post will alleviate some of the confusion surrounding this new requirement.
