Public service practice requirement--Period--Effect of clerkship

Upon admission to the practice of law through the public service pathway program, a participant shall complete two years of public service. The two-year commitment must be completed within three years of the date of admission to practice as an attorney in this state. The time a participant serves in a state or federal judicial clerkship may not count toward the two-year requirement but the three-year period to complete the public service requirement is tolled during service in a state or federal judicial clerkship.
