A quick definition of special retainer:

A special retainer is when a client pays a lawyer a fee to work on a specific case or project. It's like hiring a person to do a specific job for you. This is different from a general retainer, which is when a client pays a lawyer to be available for a certain period of time. A special retainer is important because it helps the lawyer focus on the specific case or project and gives the client peace of mind that their legal matter is being handled by a professional.

A more thorough explanation:

A special retainer is a type of retainer that is paid by a client to a lawyer for a specific case or project. It is a fee that is paid in advance to engage the lawyer's services for a particular matter.

For example, if a client needs legal help with a divorce case, they may pay a special retainer to a lawyer to represent them in that case. The lawyer will then be available to provide legal advice and representation for that specific case.

Special retainers are different from general retainers, which are paid for a specific length of time rather than for a specific project. They are also different from retaining fees, which are advance payments of fees for work that the lawyer will perform in the future.

Overall, a special retainer is a way for a client to secure a lawyer's services for a specific case or project, and to ensure that the lawyer is available to provide legal advice and representation when needed.
