> expecting that the cost of at least getting into court would be around US$200k, even with pro bono representation

Where do these costs come from, if not from lawyers?

Pro bono doesn't always necessarily mean "for free" or "no fee" - could be reduced fees.

Besides this, there's probably filling fees to the court; I also suspect there's outside work required (think research for current or prior cases - PACER comes to mind), which is not necessarily covered by regular "lawyer fees"
