The term “pro bono”, short for pro bono publico, is Latin meaning “for the public good.” Pro bono legal service is sometimes performed by lawyers without pay to help people with legal problems who have limited or no funds. This is entirely voluntary and is dependent on the particular Lawyer. The Anguilla Bar Association usually hosts a Pro Bono day during their Law Week each year and on this day members of the public are provided with free legal advice by members of the Association.
