ALG: Is Obama's Justice Department Targeting Right-to-Work Companies?

ALG: Is Obama's Justice Department Targeting Right-to-Work Companies?

August 29th, 2011, Fairfax, VA—Gibson Guitar was raided by the U.S. Department of Justice recently for an alleged violation of environmental laws including the Lacey Act. Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today called on Tennessee Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander to investigate whether the Department is selectively targeting companies for criminal investigations that do business in right-to-work states:

"Tennessee Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander should immediately demand a full explanation from the Obama Administration for their apparent targeting of Gibson Guitar — which makes all of their guitars in the U.S. Based upon facts available, the only thing that distinguishes Gibson's import of wood and that of its competitors is that Gibson is located in Tennessee, a right-to-work state, and its main competitors are located in non-right-to-work California and Pennsylvania.

"In the wake of Obama's National Labor Relations Board's attempt to prevent Boeing from expanding into right-to-work South Carolina, it is reasonable to question whether the Justice Department raid of Gibson is a gross abuse of power to appease their politically important Big Labor allies. It is up to Senators Corker and Alexander to get to the truth, no matter how ugly it might be."

Interview Availability: Please contact Rebekah Rast at (703) 383-0880 or at rrast@getliberty.org to arrange an interview with ALG President Bill Wilson.

Annual Meeting 2011

Ethics 20/20 Commission: Doing Nothing About Lawyer Rankings Is the Best Course

By James Podgers

The ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20 has decided that the best policy for the association to take towards companies that rank law firms and lawyers is to pretty much just leave them alone.

That conclusion is set forth in a report that the commission has submitted to the ABA's policy-making House of Delegates. Because the report is informational in nature, however, it does not require action by the 566-member House, which will convene its two-day session at the association's 2011 Annual Meeting on Monday.

The commission's look into the lawyer ranking service issue stems from a recommendation adopted by the House in February 2010 that directs the association to "examine any efforts to publish national, state, territorial, and local rankings of law firms and law schools." The recommendation was sponsored by the New York State Bar Association. Following the measure's adoption, then ABA President Carolyn B. Lamm of Washington, D.C., directed the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar to study law school rankings and asked the Ethics 20/20 Commission to look at lawyer ranking services.

In its report to the House, the Ethics 20/20 Commission concluded that there isn't evidence of a "pervasive problem" caused by lawyer ranking services that would justify further study by the ABA. Moreover, according to the report, hiring the necessary experts to conduct further in-depth study "would be prohibitively expensive."

A working group of the commission engaged in an extensive outreach effort with lawyers, bar associations, disciplinary agencies, consumer groups and ranking services in efforts to assess the issue, said Roberta Cooper Ramo, one of the working group's co-chairs. "We found no evidence that anyone has been caused any harm by this. That was very important to me," said Ramo, a partner at Modrall Sperling in Albuquerque, N.M. Ramo added that existing ethics rules already govern situations in which lawyers might improperly share information with ranking services or improperly use rankings in their advertising.

Previously, the Legal Education Section issued its own report recommending that the ABA essentially stand pat on the issue of law school rankings.

New York State Bar President Vincent Doyle expressed disappointment with the conclusions of both reports, but said he does not expect his bar to raise the matter in Toronto. Instead, said Doyle, a partner at Connors & Vilardo in Buffalo, the bar will explore how it might be able to study the issue further, and he kept open the possibility of raising the lawyer ranking issue again at the ABA's annual meeting next year, when the Ethics 20/20 Commission's recommendations will come before the House.

Meanwhile, the House of Delegates is expected to tackle one of its heaviest agendas in recent years. Among other matters, the House will consider:

A recommendation by the New York State Bar calling on the ABA to take steps to assure that law schools, law firms, CLE providers and others provide the necessary "knowledge, skills, values, habits and traits that make up the successful modern lawyer." The recommendation also calls for the ABA to urge legal education providers to implement programs, including clinical courses, that are "intended to develop practice ready lawyers." The recommendation comes at a time when a study committee of the Legal Ed Section is looking at possible changes in key areas of law school operations, including how their teaching efforts are measured and whether there should be changes in the tenure system.

A recommendation by the Standing Committee on Judicial Independence that the ABA support efforts at the state level to establish clear procedures for judicial disqualifications and implementation of procedures to review a judge's decision to reject a disqualification request. The recommendation also calls for states in which judges are elected to implement disclosure requirements for litigants and lawyers who provide campaign support to judges before whom they appear. The issue of judicial disqualifications has gained attention in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 ruling in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co. and a political environment in which judicial elections often have become more heated and expensive.

WORLD DIABETES DAY - THREE MONTHS TO GO

Unite for a Healthy Future

On 18 September, on the eve of the landmark United Nations High-Level Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases (NDS) at UN Headquarters in New York, the International Diabetes Federation, supported by several non-governmental health organisations, diabetes advocacy groups and leading diabetes and health bloggers, will be holding a mass awareness celebration in Central Park and the New York Academy of Medicine to engage the general public in the key messages and objectives of the Summit.

A wide range of activities will be held from 12pm onwards. These include a bicycle ride with members of Team Type 1 Diabetes, the first professional cycling team consisting predominantly of athletes with type 1 diabetes, and other fun initiatives aimed at promoting the importance of physical activity in the prevention and management of diabetes and other NCDs such as cancer, heart and respiratory diseases.

We encourage everyone who can to join us at the New York Academy of Medicine to produce a powerful and united voice for a healthy future, and show their support for the outcomes that we want the Summit to achieve. More details about the event.

Not able to make it but still want to show your support? Wherever you are, you can join the celebration by organising an awareness event in your town or city on September 18. Contact us at wdd@idf.org to find out how you can take part and help make a difference.

'O is for Outrage'

Our campaign to convince US President Barack Obama to attend the Summit continues to gain momentum. If you haven't done so already, make sure to submit your postcard before August 31.

Submit your WDD event

With World Diabetes Day, 14 November, less than 100 days away, planning is well underway all over the world to mark the day and build on the achievements of previous years. Whatever activity you have in mind - an awareness walk, a human blue circle, a blue lighting, a diabetes screening, a seminar or lecture for health professionals, a press conference, an event for children and young people, or simply raising diabetes awareness on your website of blog - make sure to share it with the global diabetes community by submitting your event information.

Interested in organising something but not sure how to go about it? Consult our campaign book or have a look at how World Diabetes Day has been marked in the past by visiting our campaign pool on Flickr.

Don't forget to take part in the Blue Monument Challenge by submitting a confirmed lighting to wdd@idf.org. Over 900 buildings in landmarks in more than 100 countries brought diabetes to light in 2010.

NEW CSR BLOG – Measuring returns and value on CSR

Posted by bdiaz on Aug 10, 2011 in News | 0 comments

CSR Counts

Measuring to maximize returns and value on CSR by Marc de Sousa Shields

Dear Friends

Over the last several years I have followed a number of really great "what is" CSR/sustainability and "why is it important" blogs. I also follow some really great niche CSR issues blogs on communications and reporting, many of which are truly excellent and very much worth following.

I noticed, however; that there is little in the way of concentrated CSR/sustainability information focused on helping managers maximize the profitability of sustainability investments.

So that is why I am starting a blog dedicated to better management and measurement of CSR/sustainability investments. My goal is to bring together information and ideas on managing and measuring for more and better corporate sustainability.

My hope is to provide an action provoking, management enhancing blog and I want to invite you to participate with ideas, thoughts and comments as I work to serve the interests of CSR/sustainably.

Here you have it…
