Law school program hopes to fill shortage of attorneys in rural Iowa

The brain drain sapping rural parts of Iowa also means small-town attorneys are disappearing, making it harder for the people to live there to perform such basic legal services for starting a business, selling a house or probating a will. To help solve this problem, the Iowa College of Law is part of a partnership helping law students find work in under-served rural areas. This story lead to placements in the Wall Street Journal, National Law Journal, Des Moines Register, Iowa Public Radio and numerous other news organizations.
