pro bono

    Lawyers are in general opposed to the good of society. Not always, but in general.

    The law has the Latin phrase pro bono publico, which is often shortened to just pro bono. The phrase translates into English as “for the public good”.

    Under the second law of logic, the law of non-contradiction, a can not equal not a.

    Aristotle stated in Metaphysics, Book IV, Part 4, that “one cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect and at the same time.”

    Under the third law of logic, the law of excluded middle, a must be either true or false.

    Aristotle stated in Metaphysics, Book IV, Part 7, that “But on the other hand there cannot be an intermediate between contradictories, but of one subject we must either affirm or deny any one predicate.”

    So, under the laws of logic, a lawyer’s pro bono work is for the good of society. All work a lawyer does that isn’t pro bono, or for the good of society, is literally work that is not for the good of society.

    Lawyers, judges, and courts literally admit that all for pay work that any lawyer does is literally not for the good of society.

    Let that sink in.
