Neal Rauhauser’s name came up in yesterday’s TKPOTD. It also came up nine years ago today.

It seems that Neal Rauhauser has been trolling for a pro bono lawyer for a friend.
IANAL, but the ones I’ve talked to say that anyone with a righteous libel claim against a defendant with deep pockets should have no trouble finding a lawyer willing to represent him on a fee-contingent basis. Pro bono representation is generally provided to defendants rather than plaintiffs. Of course, those observations come from many of the same lawyers who told me that the reason they suspect that The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin is pro se is that he can’t find a lawyer willing to risk his law license by signing court papers making the unfounded allegations Kimberlin is bringing.

Certain peoples’ prurient interest in children as sexual objects keeps coming up as well.
