Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to present the state of the art of the practice of pro bono in Portugal. To accomplish this, it is necessary to start with a definition. We use pro bono to define the offer of legal services promoted by lawyers for free to individuals or organizations that cannot afford to pay for the services and do not receive state legal aid. We exclude from the definition low bono practice, that is, paying a lower fee for legal services, since it is a more complex activity with multiple causes that distinguish it from the first.
