Presumably, they would like to know which law firm employs her. That is relevant information, though I suspect she knows better than to cover cases her firm participates in after what happened when the Patent Troll Tracker was outed as a Cisco lawyer.

He was an honest fellow who got hit with a bunch of lawsuits from a troll who didn't like being called a troll and ended up in a mess because he commented on a case he was a party to and ended up resigning. He was outed after a troll put a bounty on his identity, no less.

Why do you think she's employed by any law firm? She's a former paralegal, not a current paralegal.
Can you cite a source on that? I wasn't aware of her being retired and I find it hard to believe that someone with her skill would be unemployed.
I guess my only direct source is that every time she's spoken of working as a paralegal, it's been in the past tense. e.g. her H-Online interview:

It would certainly have been impractical for long stretches of Groklaw's history for PJ to have a day job.

Interesting, thanks.
