well the only law I am practising right now is unbillable (pro bono)

Actually, when we had orientation at my law school, the dean explained what pro bono work was and I sat there thinking "That's what I want to do full time"
As for looking for paying legal work, there are a couple of things that are preventing me from looking.

Will you be required you recuse yourself from your lawyer duties here for the duration of your campaign (and term, if elected)? And if so, who is to be your locum tenens?

Well, I would not be able to make any legal decisions (as in the STU war).
But seeing as I mostly am just providing legal information and not advice, I think the Super Law Office of Space can remain open if I am elected.

Okay, so the LSH and the L. of Sub. H. have always been on good terms (once the LSH knew about the Subs anyway).
If the LSH didn't want their organization's name to be followed so closely by the Subs, though, what would you recommend?

Well first you would have to see if the LSH had registered their name as an organization. Mostly RJ Brnade did this.
Then they could file suit against the subs and request an injunction to prohibit them from using that name. The LSH would have to show some harm in letting the Subs continue to use their name. also the longer they allow the Subs to use the name after they first hear about it, the less likely they would succeed in getting the injunction.
I remember a case in RI. There was a pizza chain there called "Pizza Pizza" At the time Little Ceasars used "Pizza Pizza" as their slogan. Little Ceasars successfully sued the other place and they had to change their name. They choice "Pizza Pie-er"

Nope the Appeals division is called "Second Bite at the Apple"

Presumably. Although I think the LSV would not care about any judge's ruling or injunction. They are villians after all.
Actually a better story would be to have the LSV go back in time and register their name first and then sue the LSH.
