Two of the specialty admission categories specifically allow participation in Certified Pro Bono Programs. First, the Admission of House Counsel Rule, 16.05 , allows members of other bars to apply to limitedly practice in Oregon as in-house counsel. Included in the work House Counsel Admittees can perform is pro bono work with Certified Programs. Second, the Out-of-state Active Pro Bono Admission Rule, 17.05, allows experienced members of other bars to seek admission in Oregon for the limited purpose of taking Pro Bono clients from Certified Pro Bono Programs. These Special Admission rules allow attorneys from any state a way to be part of Pro Bono in Oregon.
The Oregon State Bar created Active Pro Bono Status in Bylaw Section 6.101 as an alternative for lawyers considering retired or inactive status. Active Pro Bono Status has the reduced fees and regulatory requirements, like no CLEs, of retired and inactive status while allowing lawyers to continue to represent pro bono clients through Certified Pro Bono Programs. Active Pro Bono members may only practice law through Certified Pro Bono Programs; any legal practice beyond the confines of a Certified Pro Bono Program requires the attorney to transfer to regular Active Status and in most cases requires PLF coverage. Active Pro Bono Status lets Oregon lawyers retire from the daily practice of law but continue to help those most in need.
Certified Pro Bono Programs make pro bono legal work available for Active Bar members who do not have PLF coverage, Active Pro Bono members, and Members admitted under the House Counsel rule or the Out-of-state Active Pro Bono rule . Oregon's legal practice rules prevent these members from taking pro bono clients unless they do their pro bono work through a Certified Program. Additionally, the Bar screens Certified Programs to make sure they provide liability coverage to volunteers either through their host organization's liability policy or through PLF Pro Bono Coverage.

To come closer to this mission, the Oregon State Bar makes it easy for lawyers to provide Pro Bono legal services and recognizes those who give their time to help Oregonians with low incomes.
Additionally, Oregon lawyers are encouraged to dedicate 20 to 40 of those volunteer hours to providing direct pro bono legal services to Oregonians with low incomes. If a lawyer cannot provide direct pro bono legal services, they are encouraged to donate to an organization that provides those services.
In 1989 , the members of the Oregon State Bar adopted the Pro Bono Aspirational Standard as a goal for Oregon attorneys. Additionally, the Oregon Supreme Court has recognized the importance of pro bono legal services by making supporting pro bono activities part of the Oregon State Bar Statement of Professionalism.
