A. It was -- as I recall, it was several years earlier. I don't know. Maybe a year or two earlier than this particular litigation, from what I remember. If I looked at some of my other pro bono cases around the country, we might be able to get a sharper time frame on that. I've done pro bono crime victims in a lot of cases. And the dean just thought it might be useful to have that kind of a footnote to avoid any misunderstanding. Q.
