How much time will a Pro Bono case take?
Attorneys are asked to submit closing reports for all Pro Bono cases which they accept. Those reports show that the average Pro Bono case takes 15 hours. Clients are referred to Pro Bono attorneys for a specific legal problem. We encourage Pro Bono attorneys to enter into retainer agreements with their Pro Bono clients. If the client informs you that they have an additional legal matter, you are not required to assist with that case. Please tell the client to call SLS for more information. If you do wish to assist with an additional legal problem, you are also advised to call SLS so that you can get Pro Bono credit for the second case.
