Pro Bono comes from the Latin phrase Pro Bono Publico, meaning engaging in legal work for the good of the public. A pro bono lawyer provides representation to persons unable to afford the fee or a paid attorney. This representation is in the form of legal advice and representation in initial court hearings so pro bono attorneys have by law 20 hours of volunteer work to do in a year with clients demonstrating financial need.
