The Tennessee Supreme Court will adopt three rules Friday aimed at encouraging lawyers to provide free services to Tennesseans who need legal assistance but can't afford it.
The changes will encourage but not require lawyers to provide 50 pro bono hours of work each year; enable lawyers to provide limited scope legal assistance to people without formally becoming their attorney-of-record, and enable lawyers to earn one hour of continuing legal education credit for every five hours of pro bono services they provide.
