Colo. LLP RPC 6.1
Voluntary Pro Bono Publico Service
Every LLP has a professional responsibility to provide legal services to those unable to
pay. An LLP should aspire to render at least fifty hours of pro bono publico legal services
per year. In fulfilling this responsibility, the LLP should:
(a) provide a substantial majority of the fifty hours of legal services without fee or
expectation of fee to:
(1) persons of limited means or
(2) charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental and educational organizations in matters that are designed primarily to address the needs of persons of limited
means; and
(b) provide any additional legal or public services through:
(1) delivery of legal services at no fee or a substantially reduced fee to individuals,
groups or organizations seeking to secure or protect civil rights, civil liberties or public
rights, or charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental and educational organizations in matters in furtherance of their organizational purposes, where the payment of
standard legal fees would significantly deplete the organization’s economic resources or
would be otherwise inappropriate;
(2) delivery of legal services at a substantially reduced fee to persons of limited
means; or
(3) participation in activities for improving the law, the legal system or the legal
profession.
In addition, an LLP should voluntarily contribute financial support to organizations that
provide legal services to persons of limited means.
Where constitutional, statutory or regulatory restrictions prohibit government and public
sector LLPs from performing the pro bono services outlined in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2),
those individuals should fulfill their pro bono publico responsibility by performing services
or participating in activities outlined in paragraph (b).
