In 2015, he represented the plaintiffs of a gender-equity lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the military's male-only [[Conscription in the United States|draft]]. The lawsuit went before Judge [[Esther Salas]], who sided against some of Den Hollander's arguments but allowed the case to proceed in court. Den Hollander reportedly believed Salas was deliberately stalling the lawsuit for political reasons.<ref name="Atlantic" />

In September 2016, documents were uploaded to Den Hollander's website with contact info for Russian lawyers who should be contacted "if something happens to me".<ref name="nbc"/>
