Thanks Boalt!

So I finally got a summer job about a week ago and decided it was time to start tallying up my hours for the Edley grant. When I went in to make sure I had enough hours to qualify for the grant I found out that much of the hours I had served for various organizations no longer counted. Apparently they have changed the rules and almost everything you volunteer with must include being supervised by an attorney. Unfortunately I had been told by all the 2 & 3Ls that volunteering for certain student organizations would count and now I am screwed. How can I possibly cram 20 hours of attorney supervised volunteer work into the next few weeks? Although I am grateful for the Edley grants, they should have done a better job of informing 1Ls that the requirements have changed from last year. Thanks Boalt!

On a side note the proposed changes in LRAP look great, so I won't complain too much.

Did you do auction hours for BLF? If so you are probably safe.

Congrats on getting a job!
