Accepted Motion to Amend the Legal Code of Conduct [BAR 1 - 08]

[CreeperTD]

I, CreeperTD, move to add the following text to the Legal Code of Conduct:

Pro Bono​

The legal profession ultimately serves to provide legal services to citizens who require them. Citizens sometimes, however, are unable to afford the fees asked of law firms. The Bar Association of Redmont believes that undertaking pro bono work is a core part of the legal profession, and that every lawyer and law firm should endeavor to provide free legal services to those in need. The BAR encourages firms to adopt internal policies that require themselves to provide pro bono services to a certain number of clients each month.
