Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education.

This week, I’m checking in with Equal Justice Works Executive Director David Stern to find out whether current events have prompted more law students and recent grads to seek out public interest law jobs and opportunities. I’ll also break down a Florida court case in which a law student claims the state bar examiners are violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by requiring him to undergo evaluations due to a history of mental illness.
