After making it to the headlines for challenging the controversial “No-Contact Apprehension Policy,” Atty. Juman Paa shares how he started as a lawyer by getting pro-bono cases after passing bar exams in 2015.
Paa says he had no clients back then, so he started entertaining curious convicts in prison.
“Wala akong kliyente so merong nag-invite na isang paying client sa loob ng kulungan… ‘Yung mga nagtatanong sa akin doon na mga nakakulong, ine-entertain ko rin po paunti-unti hanggang sa dumami ng dumami. So dati, lima lang, naging sampu,” Paa says.
A “pro-bono” refers to being involved in legal work without payment from a client for the public good, according to Merriam-Webster.
