One of our most significant roles as lawyers is to serve our communities in meaningful ways, often by providing âpro bonoâ services to those in need. Pro bono is short for pro bono publico, and generally means âfor the public good.â The goal is to help meet the continued need for a more accessible legal system by providing free legal services to those who could not otherwise afford it.
A use case is a series of related interactions between a user (or more generally, an âactorâ) and a system that enables the user to achieve a goal. To phrase this definition in another way, a use case describes the systemâs behavior as it responds to a series of related requests from an actor.
A System Use Case is one in which the design scope is the computer system to be designed. It is about an actor achieving a goal with the computer system; it is about technology. (Reminder 13, p216). In fact Cockburn tends not to use the term Business Use Case, sometime preferring âenterprise use caseâ.The difference between the two is scope; for a Business Use Case it is the enterprise, whereas for a System Use Case it is a computer system.By âenterpriseâ we may also mean a department, especially in a large organisation. System Use Case is one in which the design scope is the computer system to be designed. It is about an actor achieving a goal with the computer system; it is about technology. (Reminder 13, p216). In fact Cockburn tends not to use the term Business Use Case, sometime preferring âenterprise use caseâ.
