Re: Lawsuit a win, I think

[Ralph Shnelvar <ralphs@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's a small point but "pro bono" means "for (the public) good".

If a lawyer says "pro bono" then it means that he will do it at a reduced
rate "for the public good."  It does not mean that she will do it for free.

Check with your lawyer as to exactly what she means when she says "pro
bono."
