Speaking to the Boston Globe, he said: 'The ABA is now looking at how we can make the system less expensive for students, so they come out of school with less debt, and can choose the kinds of legal careers that are of most interest to them. If they want to go into legal services work, it’s hard to do if you’ve got $150,000 in debt.' Another current aim, he said, is to educate Congress about the impact of not having 'fully functioning courts'. He also said: 'The big issue right now at the moment is court funding.' He is concerned about a lack of money to pay for security, translators and to keep the courts open full-time.
