Pro Bono services rendered by attorneys
The Rules of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces determine that all members must render at least twenty four hours of Pro Bono service per calendar year.
Pro bono legal services are legal services that are rendered free of charge. The client is only responsible for the cost of disbursements, such as sheriff’s fees. The attorney charges no fees.
Members of the public can apply for assistance under the Pro Bono Scheme, providing that they meet certain requirements.
