The so-called “Lolita Lawyer” has sued his former firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, for unpaid salary and bonus.
James Colliton pleaded guilty this fall to statutory rape and patronizing a prostitute based on allegations he paid a woman to have sex with her teen daughters. His suit, handwritten on notebook paper, seeks $1.45 million, the New York Daily News reports.
Besides seeking back pay, the suit also claims the firm caused Colliton emotional distress by monitoring his communications.

Notebook paper? Whatever happened to the good old yellow legal pad?

He clearly got the paper from one of his girlfriends.
