Using precedents
These precedents have been developed to reflect best practice in pro bono. There are two or more examples of each type of precedent to accommodate the various ways in which firms coordinate their pro bono programs. Use the precedents that best reflect the firm’s size, structure, systems, organisational culture and policies. Precedents should also be adapted as necessary to comply with the firm’s house style and terminology.
The Centre welcomes feedback on the usefulness and ease of use of these precedents, especially from firms in the early stages of developing a formal pro bono program.
