Legal Definitions - PRO

PRO is an abbreviation for Peer-Review Organization. It refers to a group of experts who evaluate and provide feedback on research or academic work before it is published or presented.

In Roman and civil law, PROAMITA means a great-great-aunt, specifically the sister of one's great-grandfather.

• The medical journal required all submissions to be reviewed by a PRO before being accepted for publication.
• My family tree shows that my PROAMITA was born in Italy in the 1800s.
