Beginning with the 2026 licensing fee cycle, attorneys are required to report their pro bono and reduced fee legal services hours. For the 2026 licensing fee cycle, licensees must report pro bono and reduced fee legal services hours completed from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, in My State Bar Profile. The deadline to report is March 30, 2026, which is also the deadline for other mandatory reporting requirements and to pay attorney licensing fees.
These FAQs are subject to revision and will be supplemented and updated as needed. For additional information on pro bono services, including where to find pro bono opportunities, visit the State Bar’s Pro Bono webpage. For additional questions, please email programdevelopment@calbar.ca.gov.
