Judge John Roberts -- nominated to the Supreme court -- worked free of charge, behind the scenes in a case that won a landmark case for gay rights activists. The 6-3 decision was considered the most important civil rights victory for the gay rights movement back in 1996. Judge Roberts, then a private lawyer, didn't write the briefs or argue the case before the Court. He did review filings and helped hammer out oral arguments.
