Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We've met with the bar to talk about potential strategies for recruitment of lawyers. They do attend universities, talk to students who are going to be entering the workforce, talk about what we can do to attract more lawyers to our jurisdiction. That's something the department is going to be working with the bar on. We think there is merit in that, but we can't force work on anybody who doesn't want to do it. Even if we could, I would suggest to you that that is probably not the type of representation you would want for people. You don't want to coerce lawyers to take cases, even if we could, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
