Lawyer is working pro bono or nearly so this case isn't high priority - he is doing best he can. When summary judgement was suggested via e-mail he ignored the suggestion and now with all this "stuff" being asked for it's probably too late. Many records the opposing lawyer asked for are long gone due to passage of time. Is there anyway our lawyer can go to court and plead that these requests are unreasonable , burdensome (not all of the requests were unreasonable and can be answered), but information from nearly 50 yrs that is almost impossibe to find within the records remaining seems wrong to have to comply with.

Since it's pro bono I believe , summary judgment would require more effort on his part, the other doesn't. As he's not involved in the research for the answers and information that their lawyer asked for.
