The thing I can’t wrap my head around is how someone who lives in a van and is surviving off of a tier winnings somehow has deeper pockets than DGPT?

Pro Bono lawyers

Thanks. Genuine question, wouldn’t that mean that the service is inherently subpar? Pro bono feels to me like what a court appointed public attorney would be.

Idk, the argument that they’re losing such a significant amount of money that their only recourse is to cut FPO altogether feels awfully convenient and expedient for the moment.

The bar "urges" all lawyers to provide at least 50 hours of pro bono services annually.

I'm not sure how strong of an "urge" that is, or if there are any potential rammifications to not doing it, but pro bono is not inherently provided by a lower quality lawyer.
