Someone mentioned the same thing in class. Professor said that during a settlement negotiation, he asked, "Why are you doing this?" and she actually said: "I need the money, and don't know what else I could do." Her and her lawyer offered to settle for something like $6,000 but he refused it on principle and went on to win. Actually, it was kind of sad. He was really a sweet, kind, nice person, literally no temper at all but gently assertive, very balanced and helpful. The class I was in was a low-ish level technology class and we had quite a diversity of people in there. He helped everyone as much as they needed, assigned intelligent and fun assignments... really just a great guy.
