The Connecticut Bar Foundation has launched a task force to create a pipeline of attorneys committed to public service careers. The Supreme Court of New Mexico is also considering a supervised practice licensing pathway, which would allow law graduates to practice under supervision and submit their work to the New Mexico Board of Bar Examiners. These efforts are seen as an attempt to reduce shortage of public service lawyers and attorneys in rural areas. The move reflects growing skepticism that the traditional bar exam is the best way to gauge the practice-readiness of law graduates. Critics of these programs argue that the supervision of a significant number of graduates would pose a bigger challenge.
