To get some insight into Scientology's legal strategy, you
might want to check out some or all of the following articles:

   The Church that Sues LIke Hell, by Larry Bodine
     National Law Journal, 7/9/79 p 1, 11

   Scientology's War Against Judges, by James Stewart,
     The American Lawyer, 12/80, pp 30-32
     (the Church's dubious campaign to force judges to recuse themselves from
      cases involving the Church)

   The Two Faces of Scientology, by William Horne,
     The American Lawyer, 7-8/92, pp 74-82
     (about the Church's current litigation strategy)

   Letters from CoS lawyers William Walsh and Thomas Small, and from
     anti-CoS lawyer Herbert Rosedale,
     The American Lawyer, 9/92, p 17-18

   Letters from CoS lawyers Jonathan Lubell, Eric Lieberman, Thomas Spring,
     Earle Cooley, Robert Wiener, Monique Yingling, Michael Lee Hertzberg,
     and Helena Kobrin, and from CoS non-lawyer Kurt Weiland,
     The Amercan Lawyer, 10/92, pp 17-20

   Church's Litany of Lawsuits, by Andrew Blum,
     National Law Journal, 6/14/93, p 1, 36-38

   Litigation Noir, by Steven Pressman,
     California Lawyer 12/94, pp 38-43
     (about Calif. lawyer Ford Greene and his battle with the Church)

One thing I've been very surprised to find is the presence of numerous
civil-liberties-oriented lawyers on the Church's side in past litigation:
Harvey Silverglate, Nancy Gertner, Marjorie Heins, Leonard Boudin.
