Once you have a case pending in the US District Court, you will want to file a "Motion for Appointment of Pro Bono Counsel." This motion can be filed with your complaint or petition or may be filed at any time during the course of the case.
No. The USDC Pro Bono Program can only appoint attorneys for cases filed in the District. You may find resources for state court cases at Oregon Law Help.
There is no standardized form, but the motion should follow the rules and format of the complaint and other case documents. Samples of the format are available in the Guide for Filing a Civil Complaint, which can be obtained from the Court's Intake Counter.
