Pro Bono Rule

The Pro Bono Rule encourages lawyers to provide free legal services to those in need who cannot afford to pay. While lawyers normally charge for their work, this rule promotes volunteering their expertise to support underserved communities. It’s a professional ethic that helps ensure access to justice for all, regardless of income. The rule does not require lawyers to do pro bono work but encourages and suggests they dedicate a certain amount of their time to such service annually. Ultimately, it fosters a sense of social responsibility within the legal profession.
