Tipsters report that the lawyer in question is Robert Tuttle of Brooks Kushman. Here’s a bit from his bio:

Tuttle’s bio says that he received his J.D. from Wayne State University. Evidently, he traces his Wolverine roots to his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering — which he got at the University of Michigan.
Hopefully the court won’t have to waste too many resources on this ridiculous issue.
