Subject: New York State Bar Association Sponsors Rule of Law Rally June 16
Dear New York State Bar Association Executive Director Suchocki:
I am a retired lawyer in Alabama.
The announcement of the New York State Bar Association's sponsorship of a Rule of Law Rally today in Foley Square Park in New York City (https://nysba.org/new-york-state-bar-association-sponsors-rule-of-law-rally-june-16/) says:
"Advancing the rule of law is one of the key pillars of our mission. As lawyers we have a special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently."
I think the Alabama State Bar has fallen woefully short recently in the mission of advancing the rule of law and fallen short in its special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently.
I have attempted much communication to the Alabama State Bar about this and have been ignored.
I am communicating in Alabama about the Rule of Law Rally that is being held in New York City today in order to do what I can to advance the rule of law and to fulfill my special duty to ensure that the law governs everyone equally and courts and lawyers operate independently.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
Mountain Brook, Alabama
