They already have a set number of hours that every attorney has to perform pro bono.

The bar can encourage whatever they want. Do you think defending a case is just showing up for trial? You need to spend money on investigators, sometimes expert witnesses, etc. Not to mention criminal defendants are notorious for filing bar complaints. So essentially ask them to lose money because the state of Louisiana will not comply with the Constitution??

Public defenders handle over 85% of criminal representation in the state of Louisiana. Asking the private defense bar to shoulder a pro bono caseload that would make any tangible dent in the problem would likely fail constitutional scrutiny.
