Like some free legal work (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

pro bono

(Other definitions for pro bono that I've seen before include "Giving free services" , "not being paid" , "-- -- publico (Latin)" , "For the public good - ... .... publico" , "Done for the public good unpaid" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
