Subj: ECOA Law School
Dear Mr. Kaplan,
Your course description for this year's inaugural program (see link ) says, "A genuine understanding of pertinent legal and regulatory standards is critical for ethics and compliance (E&C) officers who seek to be effective. . . . ECOA Law School provides a dynamic learning experience that focuses exclusively on the many U.S. and multinational areas of law and regulation that all E&C officers should understand."
In your view, does there come within the purview of the above course description anything I discuss about the US civil liability system in my article Does the Civil Liability System Undermine Business Ethics??
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subj: 2010 AG elections: plaintiffs' lawyers and state AG's
Dear ________,
I hope you will take the opportunity in the 2010 elections in your state to enunciate your views about the respective roles in the protection of the public of, on the one hand, state AG's and other publicly accountable officials such as government regulators and district attorneys, and, on the other hand, non-publicly accountable plaintiffs' lawyers.
This is a complex issue.
My personal view is that the role of plaintiffs' lawyers should be cut back very substantially and the role of state AG's, government regulators and district attorneys should be significantly augmented. (If you desire fuller exposition of my thinking you might take a look at this article of mine Does the Civil Liability System Undermine Business Ethics? and also this draft letter I tried to get law professors to sign and submit to the Wall Street Journal.)
For your information, you may have received the following email from me earlier this year: http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2010/01/emails-to-ag-candidates.html
I hope you will indicate your views on this subject to the voters of _______.
Thank you.

Subj: $18.5 M verdict against Boy Scouts, and Connecticut
Dear __________,
Are you bothered by the recent $18.5 million verdict against the Boy Scouts? (See http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/us/24scouts.html?_r=1)
If supporters of the Boy Scouts in Connecticut are bothered by that verdict, I urge them to express solidarity with and support for Catholic Archbishop Henry J. Mansell of Hartford, Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport and Bishop Michael R. Cote of Norwich, in their campaign to oppose a measure in the Connecticut House of Representatives that would make Connecticut the only state without a statute of limitations for the filing of sexual abuse claims concerning minors.
For further background of this email, please take a look at these entries in a blog that I write.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to email me back.
Thank you.

Further email to Catholic dioceses

Subj: Support for Archbishop Mansell and Bishops Lori and Cote
To Catholic Dioceses in the United States:
I, a lowly citizen, am writing to express my support of Archbishop Henry J. Mansell of Hartford, Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport and Bishop Michael R. Cote of Norwich, in their requesting the help of pastors in mounting a campaign opposing a measure in the Connecticut House of Representatives that would make Connecticut the only state without a statute of limitations for the filing of sexual abuse claims concerning minors. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1001542.htm
I think plaintiffs' lawyers have been wrongfully victimizing Catholic dioceses for many years. In 2005 I sent to Catholic dioceses in the United States the email that is set forth at this link: http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2007/11/catholic-church-sex-abuse-scandal.html
The plaintiffs' lawyers have a "divide and conquer" modus operandi. I recently had occasion to write to the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations warning them about this. You may read my email to the OANO here. The Boy Scouts are now being victimized in the same way the Catholic Church has been, and I have written this email to Boy Scout councils in Ohio, which the dioceses in Ohio may have a special interest in.
My sense is that Catholic dioceses have a greater appreciation of how they have been victimized than they had five or ten years ago. I hope dioceses will become more vocal in objecting to their victimization by the plaintiffs' lawyers.
Sincerely,

Ohio Boy Scout Councils
The confluence of an $18,500,000 verdict against the Boy Scouts, my email to the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations, and a pending Ohio legislative bill, led me to send the following email to Boy Scout councils in Ohio.
From: RDShatt@aol.com

Subj: Are the Boy Scouts being victimized by plaintiffs' lawyers?
Dear ______,
I think plaintiffs’ lawyers are victimizing the entirety of the United States. That includes the Boy Scouts (as exemplified by the recent $18,500,000 verdict against the Boy Scouts http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/us/24scouts.html ), and Catholic Church dioceses in the United States as well.As to the Catholic Church, in 2005 I sent to Catholic dioceses around the country the email that is set forth at this link: http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2007/11/catholic-church-sex-abuse-scandal.html
Among other things, the plaintiffs' lawyers employ a "divide and conquer" strategy. While they go about victimizing one group, the plaintiffs' lawyers bribe other groups to avert the latter's eyes from what is going on against the first group. This is until something happens, and one of the other groups has become eligible to be attacked and victimized by the plaintiffs' lawyers
I am writing to you and other Boy Scount councils in Ohio because the Ohio legislature is currently considering legislation that will extend the plaintiffs' lawyers ability to implement their conquer and divide strategy. See this link: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=128_HB_0427
I have written an email to the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations to point this matter out to them. My email to OANO is appended below if you would like to read it.
I hope you will convery this message to other supporters of the Boy Scouts in Ohio, and that you and they will engage in discussion with other Ohio nonprofit organizations about how the plaintiffs' lawyers "conquer and divide," and further that all concerned will contact their Ohio legislators and tell them the plaintiffs' lawyers should not be further enabled in their "conquer and divide" methods by HB 0427.
Thank you.

Three Ohio nonprofits
After sending my email to the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations, I sent an email to three Ohio nonprofit organziations that had a video concerning themselves posted on the website of the plaintiffs' lawyers in question. The form of my email to the three Ohio nonprofits was as follows:
Dear ________,
I am writing you related to the video featuring _______ [organization] that appears on the Ohio Lawyers Give Back website http://www.ohiolawyersgiveback.org/ .
While I am sure that Dworken & Bernstein seems like a very good friend of __________ [organization] and of other Ohio charities, I think you should do soul searching and critical thinking about what kind of friend they really are..
For your information, I have written the below email to the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations about this. I hope _________ [organization] will give this matter serious consideration.
Thank you.

Subj: The "friends" of charities who divide and conquer
Dear Ms. Williams,
Charities in Ohio should be careful about the friends they keep.
Some friends can be adept at cloaking themselves in empathetic human emotion, while having ulterior motives to enrich themselves at the expense of those they are befriending. These friends are practiced at victimizing some in your charities group and bribing others in the group to avert their eyes. That is until something happens and someone else in your group is eligible to be attacked and victimized (in other words, a divide and conquer strategy).
The hallmark of these friends is they can satisfy their greed for lots of money only by getting it in small amounts out of the pockets of thousands, even millions, of innocent bystanders, for whom the small amounts are too small to complain about and to stop what is going on.
Who are these "friends" of Ohio charities I am talking about?
You can find some of them here: http://www.ohiolawyersgiveback.org/
Have I caught your attention? I hope so.
If I have caught your attention, I would say that you will need to undertake soul searching, investigation and critical thinking to determine your own view about what I say.
If you are game for that, an excellent (but very difficult) starting point is to decide whether you believe, in your heart of hearts, that it is right and proper for Catholic Church dioceses around the country to be bankrupted as a result of the sex abuse scandal (which shows no signs of abating). If you wish to initiate soul searching, investigation, and critical thinking about that, you might look at this email I sent Catholic dioceses in 2005 http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2007/11/catholic-church-sex-abuse-scandal.html and the referenced appended document, which in its current form is this.
You also should check your heart of hearts about whether the Boy Scouts of America are deserving of being bankrupted by the plaintiffs' lawyers. ($18,500,000 judgment reported on April 23rd. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/us/24scouts.html)
I hope you will engage in the soul searching and critical thinking that I believe is needed to find out what you think or should think in your heart of hearts. If you would like my help in undertaking that exercise, I will be pleased to offer whatever assistance I can.
I will understand if you choose not to engage in the exercise.
Thank you.
