Pro Bono and Volunteers

“Pro bono publico - ‘for the public good’ - not just in the sense of professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment, but in the sense of a public service to those who are unable to afford the services of skilled professionals. It is a noble and necessary calling for all attorneys.”

Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye
