Legal Aid of East Tennessee (LAET) developed a Sample Pro Bono Policy through their Pro Bono Project to assist law firms in developing their own policy. LAET's Pro Bono Policy explains the importance of pro bono work in the community and the significance of equal access to justice for each individual. The Policy has five sections:
Definitions
Pro Bono Committee
Accepting Pro Bono Clients
Service Expectations
In-House Client Eligibility and Fees
Each section is divided into subsections with thorough explanations of different aspects of the Policy.
