Pro bono legal assistance
Pro bono legal assistance refers to legal services provided voluntarily and without charge by lawyers to individuals or organizations in need, particularly those who cannot afford legal representation. This practice helps ensure access to justice for underserved communities and addresses various legal issues, such as family law, housing, and immigration. Lawyers take on pro bono cases to fulfill their professional responsibility to society, contribute to the community, and promote fairness in the legal system. Overall, it bridges the gap in legal services for those facing financial difficulties.
