I have been fortunate enough to serve on an advisory board to the Justice Entreprenuers Project, an incubator program established by the Chicago Bar Foundation to assist law school graduates in developing law practices for low and moderate income clients. The MacArthur Foundation recently announced a $400,000 grant to this great project.
It is too early to tell whether this (or other incubator programs) is a sustainable model. But it is great that MacArthur will aid in the development of this type of program.
