Court papers are public documents.
If a lawyer filed papers in court, then obama’s name should be on the courts records as lawyer.
If it was federal, the pacer system may not have the actual documents but it may have the counsel of record list.
for those in rio linda: pacer is the federal online court records which can be accessed via the internet.
from the chicago sun-times

i dont know much about this website, but its the quickest link to ACORN and the lawsuit. the article states:
“ACORN and Obama also go way back… ACORN was a recipient of grants from Chicago’s Woods Funds; Obama was a community organizer/trainer of ACORN staff; and his legal firm represented ACORN in lawsuits against banks, accused of redlining. Obama himself, in what constitutes his only personal trial attorney experience, represented Calvin Roberson in just such a lawsuit against CitiBank.”
