What is the pro-bono goal for lawyers described in the material?

• A. Provide at least 5 hours per year to the poor.
• B. Provide at least 50 hours per year to poor persons.
• C. Provide at least 100 hours per year to all clients.
• D. Pro bono work is optional with no hour minimum.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that pro bono service is measured by a concrete time commitment dedicated to helping those who can’t afford legal help. The material sets a specific annual target, emphasizing a minimum amount of free work to indigent clients.

Providing at least 50 hours per year to poor persons is the best fit because it establishes a real, monitorable standard focused on aid to the underserved. It’s not about a tiny or unlimited amount, and it isn’t about serving all clients for unlimited hours. The other options either state too few hours, set the minimum on the wrong group (all clients rather than the poor), or declare pro bono work optional with no minimum, which contradicts the stated goal.
