yes, it's Latin for "for the [public] good." it refers to work that is done for free because it benefits society.

It's Latin - pro patria mori -- to die for [one's] country. \n\nThe phrase "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" was originally used in the Roman poet Horace's Ode 3.2.13.  It's a rather Roman thought, really.  But read Wilfred Owen's poem about World War I called "dulce et decorum est", which is a very bitter poem about the harsh realities of war.  It's a classic.

the original latin meaning is the matter itself speaks but today we have adopted the meaning it goes without saying.It is used mostly when refering to legal matters.

ilker_murat is right, but this word has a historical background too. This term derives from 494 BC, when the first tribunes in ancient Rome were elected to protect and represent the 'plebs' (less well-born people with relatively low income - they were rather disdained by the 'patricians' = Rome's aristocracy) in the political life. They were enabled to prevent decisions that weren't advantegous for this social group by vetoing (that is to officially refuse to approve a statute).

Look up the telephone number of the Texas Bar Association.  (I am assuming that as in PA they have what we call The Lawyer Referral Service).  They can provide you with a low cost referral to an attorney for a consultation.  You may also find in your yellow pages (as in PA) that there are display ads for attorneys who provide a free consultation on your problem.  I don't think pro bono services are easily located except in some types of legal disputes (medical malpractice and injury is an area where one might find one more easily).  I suggest otherwise that you get on line and look up attorneys and attempt to find one who might be interested.  Good luck.

I don't think there is any such thing as a pro bono list, those attorneys would never get paid!\n\nCall the Florida Bar and see if there is such a thing as Legal Aid (sponsored by the state bar) in your area.  If you qualify (income vs. expenses), you get free legal advice from an attorney.  That attorney may, in turn, take your case pro bono or know someone who will represent you for nothing, espcially if it is a cause wherein your attorney might be able to hold the other party liable for payment, or be awarded payment by the Court from the other party.

Your answer is that, in civil actions, generally, no, the law does not provide "pro per" (more commonly called "pro se" [pro SAY]) parties any more protection than a represented party.  Cases from across the country recognize that pro se parties must follow the rules of civil procedure, and courts may NOT litigate the case for the pro se party (by giving them legal advice, letting them what they must file when, etc.)   That said, courts will generally go out of their way to ensure that an action that is being defended by a party pro se is heard on the merits where the pro se party is acting in good faith and will "liberally interpret" pro se parties' pleadings.\nIf you blew a deadline for a motion for summary judgment, that's your fault. You need to get a copy of the rules of civil procedure and any of the court's rules.  They're usually available on-line; they're definitely available at your local county courthouse library.\nHowever, if you respond to the Motion and Memorandum, even if slightly delayed, the Court may, just as a practical matter and in the interests of justice, give you the benefit of the doubt.  Just prove to the Court that you're trying.

First, look in your area to legal aid. They may go under a different name, so if you can't find it, call the local bar association.\nAdditionally, ask at the local bar if it has its own pro bono legal service. Many local bars have such, but if they don't, they should be able very quickly and easily to point you to someone who can provide free legal assistance.\nIs there a law school nearby? They may also have the capabilities, through student run (attorney supervised) clinics.

Well, they don't - that's the whole idea of pro bono.  \n\nBut you're right, no lawyer can earn money by doing pro bono work.  More often, however, is that when a lawyer is involved in some organizations, or has really deep personal conviction on certain issues, he/she will take on a client/case free of charge.  Lawyers working for non-profit organizations aren’t really working pro bono, because they still get paid – though much less than working for a law firm or corporation.  \n\nDifferent attorneys have different reasons to take pro bono cases.  Some take it because of the publicity.  Some for personal beliefs/convictions.  Some do it to be on God’s good side.  Some large firms actually require their associates to do a certain hours of pro bono works every year, or to qualify for bonus/time off.  Some state bars also require pro bono services.  \n\nIn any event, not enough lawyers are doing pro bono works… this world needs more good advocates for the under-represented and un-privileged.

I think you mean "caritas" which is where we derive our word charity.  Charity means kindness, generosity, and it can also mean donations of money or goods to people who are less fortunate.  \n\nFrom the Online Etymological Dictionary: \ncharity Look up charity at Dictionary.com\n    1137, "benevolence for the poor," from O.Fr. charite, from L. caritas (acc. caritatem) "costliness, esteem, affection" (in Vulgate often used as translation of Gk. agape "love" -- especially Christian love of fellow man -- perhaps to avoid the sexual suggestion of L. amor), from carus "dear, valued," from PIE *karo-, from base *ka- "to like, desire" (see whore). Vulgate also sometimes translated agape by L. dilectio, n. of action from diligere "to esteem highly, to love."\n\n        "Wyclif and the Rhemish version regularly rendered the Vulgate dilectio by 'love,' caritas by 'charity.' But the 16th c. Eng. versions from Tindale to 1611, while rendering agape sometimes 'love,' sometimes 'charity,' did not follow the dilectio and caritas of the Vulgate, but used 'love' more often (about 86 times), confining 'charity' to 26 passages in the Pauline and certain of the Catholic Epistles (not in I John), and the Apocalypse .... In the Revised Version 1881, 'love' has been substituted in all these instances, so that it now stands as the uniform rendering of agape." [OED]"
