If I work to support other lawyers’ pro bono efforts, would that work qualify as pro bono work?

Examples of pro bono adjacent work that would qualify as pro bono work include:

• Hours spent doing legal research or drafting for a case in which you, as a government lawyer, would be prohibited from filing an appearance in court
• Hours spent helping to plan, organize or set up a pro bono clinic
• Hours spent on preparing training for pro bono opportunities or taking such training (both as the lawyer/teacher and the lawyer/learner)

An example of pro bono adjacent work that would not count as pro bono work would be drafting an office policy on pro bono work. Such work would be a part of your work responsibilities and therefore would not be counted as pro bono work.
