80. As a matter of
fact I have when I practiced in PA. Those clients accepted the legal service I provided gratis. I don't know that I'd exactly characterize that as hiring me-- not like anything was exchanged. Yeah I know-- I'm held to the same standard as if I got to bill them out and yes they got good service. But jesus imaginary christ you call that being hired? Seriously?

In earnest-- I've never thought of pro bono as being hired. But please allow me to split that hair-- no poor person, with the occasional exception of the poor person to whom services were rendered gratis, ever hired me to my economic benefit but as my paralegal used to tell me such works stored gold in heaven.
