Motion For Appointment Of Pro Bono Counsel

MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF PRO BONO COUNSEL. This form is used in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon by individuals who are representing themselves in a civil case and are requesting that the court appoint a volunteer attorney to assist them. This motion is typically filed by litigants who cannot afford legal representation and who believe their case would benefit from the assistance of a lawyer. The form requires the applicant to explain why they need an attorney, such as the complexity of the case, their inability to effectively advocate for themselves, or other personal limitations. It also collects detailed financial information to help the court assess the applicant’s inability to pay for legal services, including current employment status, income, assets, debts, expenses, and dependents. Additionally, the form asks whether the applicant has previously attempted to secure legal help on their own. The declaration section confirms that the applicant understands the appointment of pro bono counsel is not guaranteed and is subject to attorney availability. The applicant must sign the form under penalty of perjury, acknowledging that false information may result in dismissal of their case. www.FormsWorkflow.com
