As a junior partner in his law firm, he was asked to help out with the case. You think he should have shot his career in the foot just because you don't approve of the position some other lawyer was taking?
I understand that he was not obligated to do the work. He was obligated to do SOME pro-bono work. He did a great deal of it, and this was one he willingly took on. If he were paid then I would have a lesser problem with it. Everyone is entitled to representation (though I wouldn't personally choose an attorney who didn't share my convictions). But why was this case a pro-bono case? Why didn't they at least have to raise the money? Why did they get free high-end attorney services? I bet the state of Colorado (read: Colorado taxpayers) had to pay for their legal services. This whole thing smells!!!!
