On November 26, 2013, Michigan Live reported on the challenge and Mercantile telling the Security & Exchange Commission the issues Lee and FFW raised would result in a delay of the merger.

In early 2010, Lee was invited to speak on the topic of Sri Lanka at the Rebellious Lawyers' conference at Yale Law School.[citation needed]Inner City Press' questioning of the UN on when it asked the Syrian government for access to al Ghouta was played on Democracy Now on August 28, from Minute 18:30 <http://traffic.libsyn.com/democracynow/dn2013-0828-1.mp3</ref>Personal life: He was born in Washington, D.C., to parents of Chinese and Anglo descent.
