     There was Groklaw, but that is no more.
     I have presumed in the past that certain "groundwork" work might be
     useful for those involved in cases.
     However, pre-emptive action is difficult due to the number of
     jurisdictions. Groklaw built on the SCO case, which was a) widely
     reported, b) struck at the heart of the free/libre software world,
     c)
     involved big budged companies, d) continued for a very long time.
     A very valuable literary-legal resource was created by that effort
     (other cases were covered to some degrees).
     I would discourage self-represented defence in cases surrounding
     Tor/I2P etc, due to the potential significance of adverse
     consequences
     to the broader *globabl* free-speech network communities!
     Self-represented may be ok in conjunction with support from
     pro-liberty lawyers. This might be quite jurisdiction-sensitive, I
     don't know.
     But first and foremost, we have a duty of care to each other in this
     freedom-speech community, to not hide such cases from those who
     would
     be able to support, due to the potential community chilling effects.
     SO, such a list might be a very useful thing to set up, so that
     those
     who might "valantly" charge ahead in a case self-representing, might
     receive the support and the cautions from supportive lawyers
     regarding
     all possible approaches, etc, etc.
     Regards
     Zenaan
