Legal work a lawyer does for free, usually for people who can't afford to pay.
What it means
Pro bono (from Latin meaning "for the public good") refers to legal services provided free of charge, typically to people who cannot afford a lawyer or to community organisations. Many Australian law firms, barristers and legal aid and community legal centres offer pro bono assistance. It is separate from legal aid, which is government-funded. Pro bono help can range from one-off advice to full representation in a case.
How it's used
A barrister agreed to act pro bono for the pensioner, who could not otherwise afford representation.
