Quid pro Quo means this for that, and implies that this and that are specific objects(physical or non
physical) that are being traded for each other. This is used in a court environment, and is usually used to determine the reasonings behind a court case. The judge uses quid pro use to determine if some crimes are legal. As an example, if Jeff gave Cindy three apples, and Cindy gave Jeff a emerald, then the quid pro quo would make sense. Because of this, a judge will look in to specific details to to why Cindy would give Jeff a emerald for only three apples. By doing so, a judge might find out that there was a contract involved between Cindy and Jeff that Cindy did not read properly. Quid pro quo is important because it is a place holder word that people in court can use to determine the motives of the defendant and the plaintiff. Because of this, I think that the Unit States should still use this word in our legal system
