Pro Bono Aspirational StandardOregon State Bar Bylaw 13.1

Pro bono publico or pro bono service includes all uncompensated services performed by lawyers for the public good. Such service includes civic, charitableand public service activities; as well as activities that improve the law, the legalsystem and the legal profession. The direct provision of legal services to the poor,without an expectation of compensation, is one type of pro bono service.

Each lawyer in Oregon should endeavor annually to perform 80 hours of probono services. Of this total, the lawyer should endeavor to devote 20 to 40 hoursor to handle two cases involving the direct provision of legal services to the poor,without an expectation of compensation.

If a lawyer is unable to provide direct legal services to the poor, the lawyer shouldendeavor to make a comparable financial contribution to an organization thatprovides or coordinates the provision of direct legal services to the poor.

Remember to report your pro bono hours for the annual OSB Pro Bono Roll Call.

www.osbar.org/probono

Introduction

In 1989, the members of the Oregon State Bar adopted an aspirational standard that each lawyer in Oregonshould endeavor to perform 80 hours of pro bono services annually, including 20 to 40 hours, or two cases, in direct legal services to the poor. In addition, Section 4.4 of the OSB Statement of Professionalism states that it is aprinciple of professional practice to engage in pro bono activities, and that all lawyers share an obligation to makelegal services available to all members of society.

Oregon lawyers contribute more than half a million dollars annually to the Campaign for Equal Justice to helpfund legal aid offices around the state and ensure equal access to justice regardless of economic limitations. In 2005, Oregon lawyers reported more than 37,000 hours of direct Legal representation to the Oregon State Bar ProBono Roll Call, and this was probably only a fraction of the hours provided without recognition. Yet, despite effortsby some attorneys and law firms, volunteer services meet only a small portion of the need for low-income residents.

According to the Oregon Legal Needs Study (2000), more than 470,000 low-income Oregonians cannot afford to pay for legal advice and representation in civil matters. Existing legal aid programs can help less than 20% of the need. In Multnomah County alone there are 110,000 low-income residents who simply cannot afford alawyer. The need extends not only to low-income residents but also to civic, charitable and other public-serviceorganizations.

The tremendous need for legal assistance translates into countless opportunities for Oregon lawyers. While notexhaustive, this handbook is intended to be a guide to some of the opportunities in Oregon, and a stepping-stonefor greater involvement among lawyers. Any amount of pro bono service would make a profound difference in thebar's involvement in Oregon. You can commit to pro bono representation without large time commitment. Someclients just need basic advice on how to respond to a landlord, creditor or neighbor. Many pro bono programs offer training for attorneys to gain a solid understanding of the areas of law that most affect low-income persons.Some organizations have bar-certified pro bono programs that offer Professional Liability Fund (PLF) insurance coverage to volunteers. Certified programs are denoted with a single asterisk.

The organizations in this handbook offer a variety of pro bono opportunities to match most practice areas. Each listing includes information on available training, whether volunteers must carry PLF malpractice coverage,and how much time you might expect to devote if you volunteer with a particular program. To volunteer your services, contact the organization of your choice directly.

The information in this handbook was current at the time of printing, but many new opportunities and changesarise between printings. Up-to-date information is available on the Oregon State Bar Pro Bono website at:

www.osbar.org/probono

The need in Oregon is great. But the need creates a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate our belief in equalaccess to justice, professionalism, and commitment to public service. In short, we have the opportunity to be proudof being lawyers.

Thank you for helping to provide legal services to all Oregon residents.
