ABA Model Rule 6.1

ABA Model Rule 6.1 encourages lawyers to actively promote access to legal services for those unable to afford them. It emphasizes that lawyers should consider providing legal help voluntarily or through programs, aimed at addressing justice gaps. The rule is a professional responsibility, highlighting that increasing access to legal assistance benefits society as a whole. It does not require lawyers to take on every case but encourages them to contribute efforts that expand legal availability, ensuring fewer individuals are left without legal representation when they need it most.
