The association is ProBono.Org 011 339 6080 in Durban 031 3016178
A case needs to meet certain criteria such as means test, public interest etc.
In terms of the law society - probono work is not a legal requirement, unlike many overseas countries. The Joburg Law Soceity has their own rules that expect the attorneys to do 24 hrs a year in probono work. The rules do centre around if the law society instructs the attorney to do the work then they must. Again their will be criteria to meet.
