Guidelines for In-Court Practice
A lawyer who has been granted Pro Bono Practice Status pursuant to either 27 N.C.A.C. 1D, Rule
.0905(b)(3), Pro Bono Practice by Out of State Lawyers, or 27 N.C.A.C. 1D, Rule .0901(b)(3), Emeritus
Pro Bono Status, may engage in the following activities under the supervision of an active member of the
North Carolina State Bar:
(a) A lawyer with Pro Bono Practice Status may give advice to a client on matters of North Carolina law
provided (1) the lawyer gives a clear prior explanation to the client that the lawyer’s practice in North
Carolina is limited to pro bono matters and (2) the supervising lawyer has determined that the pro bono
lawyer is qualified to render legal advice in the subject area involved.
(b) A lawyer with Pro Bono Practice Status may represent an eligible person in any proceeding before a
federal, state, or local tribunal, including an administrative agency, if notice of pro bono status is given to
the tribunal or agency by the pro bono lawyer and the supervising lawyer approved the representation. A
statement advising the tribunal or agency of the lawyer’s Pro Bono Practice Status shall be filed with the
tribunal and made a part of the record in the case. The State Bar Council’s Order granting Pro Bono
Practice Status may be used for this purpose.
(c) The pro bono lawyer’s appearance before a tribunal or agency shall be subject to any limitations
imposed by the tribunal or agency.
(d) In all cases under this rule in which a lawyer with Pro Bono Practice Status is permitted to appear
before a tribunal or agency, subject to any limitations imposed by the tribunal, the lawyer may engage in
all activities appropriate to the representation of the client, including, without limitation, selection of and
