The State Bar maintains a limited fund to help defray the burden of out of pocket costs that members incur on pro bono cases where the client is unable to pay and the expense is not one that can be waived. Expenses for transcripts, expert witnesses, office supplies and mileage are just some examples of the kinds of expenses that have been reimbursed to State Bar members.
Members handling eligible civil pro bono cases on behalf of low income clients should submit a signed Member Expense Reimbursement Form with supporting documentation for approval to the Pro Bono Program Manager at
probono@wisbar.org.
For questions regarding eligibility for this program, please contact the Pro Bono Program Manager at
probono@wisbar.org or 608-250-6177.
