Pro Bono Service
However, pro bono service is not flawless. Some of its defects include:
- Pro bono assistance does not always mean full court representation or appearances (Pro bono attorneys may simply do legal research, draft pleadings, or just commit to part of the proceedings in your legal battle)
- Only 20% of low and moderate income individuals can get pro bono help with their legal problems (because it is challenging for legal professionals to find enough hours to handle a case)
- Many law firms are in shortage of staff or funding for pro bono work
