Supreme Court Rule 756(f) contains a broad definition that illustrates four distinct ways in which lawyers can use their unique training, experience and skills to help the public on a pro bono basis. Under the Rule, “pro bono legal services” include: • Legal services to a person of limited means; • Legal services to charitable, religious, civic, or community organizations designed to address the needs of persons of limited means; • Legal services to charitable, religious, civic, or community organizations in matters in furtherance of their organizational purpose; and • Pro bono training intended to benefit legal service organizations or lawyers who provide pro bono services.
