The problem here that I see, is when one party hires a lawyer to start the lawsuit and the other party some how gets a pro bono lawyer to defend them in federal court. Defense with a pro bono lawyer dont care as much as time/costs when they are not footing the bill, thus they take every chance to delay, or increase court costs to try and force plaintiff to stop the lawsuit etc. Rule 11 exists for this reason, but its rare to get pushed. (Real issue, dont ask)
