https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jailhouse_lawyer
Jailhouse lawyer is a colloquial term in North American English to refer to an inmate in a jail or other prison who, though usually never having practiced law nor having any formal legal training, informally assists other inmates in legal matters pertaining to their sentence (e.g. appeal of their sentence, pardons, stays of execution, etc.) or to their conditions in prison. Sometimes, they also assist other inmates in civil matters of a legal nature.

Inmates who can help other prisoners with their legal work are aways in demand, especially one with actual formal legal training like Bondi. I'm sure she'll be a very busy lady.
