After an exhaustive look at the dismal state of employment for young lawyers in New York, a New York City Bar task force has recommended additional avenues of training and support for new graduates, a shift in focus from large law jobs to providing services to the middle class, and continued experimentation with law school curricula and changes to the bar exam (see related article).
