'Pro bono' is latin for free of charge. For Holland that's different. The term has its own meaning here because we have the so-called Pro Deo lawyers who will defend people if they can't afford an own lawyer, thus free of charge, gratis, null-tariff. And so the intend of the new name is meant. I assumed its perception would be wordlwide the same, not so. Pro Deo in the literal (latin) sense means "For God" which I don't object because I am a Christian. My best, Ed
