Here’s a snippet of some of the commentary about Sotomayor’s statements: “First, would it include the Justices on the Supreme Court? If not, instant fail.” And this: “Until this justice works as a solo practitioner for a year, which she never has, and see what it‘s really like to try to earn a living as an attorney to support one‘s family, I suggest she keep her mouth shut and focus on her own job.”
What do you think? Is mandatory pro bono a good idea or bad? How would it be implemented? Should it apply to in-house, government and private lawyers the same?
