Massachusetts Lawyer's Weekly has posted a sampling of pro bono legal organizations in Massachusetts. Pro bono is short for the Latin phrase,"pro bono publico", or "for the public good." Pro bono legal organizations generally provide free or low cost legal representation in order to promote a social cause or to assist those who are unable to hire an attorney. These organizations serve a vaulable role in our legal system and often provide assistance to many who would be left without an advocate otherwise.
