They’re probably pro se on this one. If they had to pony up $250 / hour, each, this would have ended long ago.

Ahhh…now THERE’S an idea…..make lawyers who want to be party to a suit pay their personal going rate to a charity if they’re pro se, or hire another shyster, uh, I mean lawyer, to represent them. That way they get the full experience. 😉
