Hello, interested public! Lots of major news this week: a federal judge ended the temporary block on the Biden Administration’s student loan forgiveness plan, while California became the newest state to require that attorneys report pro bono hours to the State Bar. The federal government is allowing employees to donate their PTO to colleagues affected by Hurricane Helene, while the North Carolina Supreme Court is allowing out-of-state lawyers to assist hurricane victims. As always, these stories and more are in the links below.

Take care,

Sam
