Several state court administrators at a forum Tuesday indicated their willingness to compromise on parts of a mandatory pro bono disclosure rule, surprising a cohort of the bar who has protested the rule for the past year.
The four-hour session, hosted by the New York County Lawyers’ Association, brought together proponents and critics of the rule. The mandate that lawyers disclose their annual pro bono hours and any charitable contributions to legal services groups every two years went into effect in May 2013.
