Full origin of pro bono →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between pro bono and volunteering?
Pro bono means giving away the professional service you normally charge for, such as a lawyer drafting a will at no cost. Volunteering is any unpaid help, skilled or not. All pro bono work is voluntary, but not all volunteering is pro bono.
Is pro bono the same as no win, no fee?
No. Pro bono is free whatever the outcome. Under a no win, no fee arrangement the lawyer is paid, often generously, if the case succeeds.
