Pathways for a United World: the “Pro Bono” Project
Fernanda Oria, from Brazil, reports about the “Pro Bono Recife” Project, created in August 2016 by a group of lawyers, with the aim of promoting the culture of free patronage (“Pro Bono”) to the benefit of the poor in the city of Recife.
The “Pro Bono” defense is exercised free of charge to the benefit of non-profit social institutions or individuals who do not have the resources to hire professionals for advice, consultation, or legal action, but it has never been framed into any kind of national regulations.
