He is not an attorney. But he was young enough and had legal skill enough to hold his own against an experienced attorney and powerful firm. A slap in the face for Ballard Spahr. <br /><br />I understand Frontrunners then turned it around and sued the ABIM for violation of the Sherman Act citing restraint of trade.
