Re: Steven R. Donziger’s Motion for Permission to Appeal his Disbarment

Dear Judges of the New York Court of Appeals,

We, law students pursuing careers in the public interest, write to support Steven Donziger’s motion for permission to appeal his disbarment by the Appellate Division, First Department. In particular, we are disturbed that the First Department applied collateral estoppel to deprive Mr. Donziger of an opportunity to challenge the grounds for his disbarment. We urge the Court of Appeals to end this practice. Future public interest lawyers must be able to expect fair proceedings in front of the bar if they are forced to defend themselves against the retaliatory tactics that Mr. Donziger has faced.

Between 1993 and 2011, the American attorney Steven Donziger represented indigenous Ecuadorians in a class action lawsuit.1 The Ecuadorians hoped to hold Chevron accountable for severely damaging their region of the Amazon. Mr. Donziger succeeded in obtaining a $9.5 billion judgement for his clients, which ’s highest court affirmed unanimously. However, shortly before the Ecuadorian trial court issued its judgment, Chevron commenced a civil RICO action against Mr. Donziger in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. The oil giant accused Mr. Donziger of bribing an Ecuadorian judge to issue a ghost- written decision in favor of his clients.

Drastic resource disparities and scorched-earth tactics characterized the litigation that followed. Chevron employed 60 law firms and more than 2,000 lawyers to prosecute Mr. Donziger in a bench trial.2 Mr. Donziger, in contrast, mostly defended himself, with limited legal

1 assistance for discrete portions of the case. Significant evidence emerged after the trial that raised questions about the court’s findings.3 Nevertheless, the First Department gave preclusive effect to these findings and disbarred Mr. Donziger without a hearing.

Jurists and human rights experts from around the world have expressed grave concern over the implications of Mr. Donziger’s case.4 Giving preclusive effect to civil findings in disbarment proceedings threatens critical public interest litigation that grants underrepresented groups access to justice. Mr. Donziger’s experience is part of a pattern. Corporate actors have weaponized civil RICO lawsuits to retaliate against human rights defenders.5 Strategic lawsuits against public participation (“SLAPP”) like this one have the potential to deter attorneys from pursuing important public interest work; the threat of disbarment as an automatic consequence of SLAPP litigation would only exacerbate this problem. The First Department’s use of collateral estoppel in disbarment hearings sends a signal to public interest lawyers that they will have to choose between jeopardizing their careers and abandoning their underrepresented clients. This predicament disincentivizes the public interest advocacy that is key to social progress.

Accordingly, we urge the New York Court of Appeals to grant Mr. Donziger’s motion for permission to appeal his disbarment. We also ask that other New York courts abandon the practice of giving collateral effect to civil findings in disciplinary matters. The Court of Appeals’ failure to address this critical matter could put the future of public interest advocacy at risk.

Sincerely,

The undersigned law students and organizations:
