The ABA House of Delegates approved 31 wide-ranging measures at its Monday meeting, including a resolution that urges the federal government to implement programs to assist law graduates and law students experiencing financial hardship due to their student loans.  Other topics considered include the deadline by which law schools must report employment data for recent law graduates, greater privacy for judges' personal information, increased well-being initiatives, and immigration policies and practices. In addition, delegates agreed to new limits that will govern the type of resolutions that will be allowed to come before the body in the future. Under the new rule, resolutions must advance one or more of the ABA’s four goals.  The ABA, Reuters Legal and Law.com report on these actions.
