you do nothing for the credibility of your cause with posts like this...
lawyers are always bound by solicitor/client priviledge and it is debatable what, if any, precious confidential information there might be, especially on the plaintiff side, in this highly visible case + people move back and forth between the non-profit and for-profit sectors all the time, indeed one kinda wishes them well that they might actually at some point in their careers start to make a living ;) + and "on the take" is inflamatory if not actually libelous
