Kaye and Juanita Bing Newton, deputy chief administrative judge for justice initiatives.
Of last June’s first of four state convocations on the matter, said Mr. Rothenberg, executive director of New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, “I hadn’t been aware that certain states [Maryland, Florida and Indiana] had adopted pro bono reporting requirements. Where that’s happened, those states have seen great increases in pro bono service. Now that is certainly worth studying for New York.”
