Nick Cooney had to take a day off from his job as a teacher's aide in West 
Philadelphia so he could battle a team of corporate lawyers in Chester County 
Court.
And, by all accounts, the 22-year-old did quite well for himself yesterday, 
garnering kudos from the judge, legal onlookers - even opposing counsel.
Cooney was hauled into court by attorneys for Berwind Pharmaceutical Services 
Inc., who wanted a judge to order Cooney and his animal-rights compatriots to 
stay at least 100 feet from the chief executive officer's house when they 
protest the company's role in animal testing.
