No. There is no Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct requiring pro bono service. The Supreme Court of Ohio, in its Statement Regarding the Provision of Pro Bono Legal Services by Ohio Lawyers, only strongly encourages each Ohio lawyer to ensure access to justice for all Ohioans by participating in pro bono activities.
