The people listed below (between the dotted lines) are the contacts that
FACTNet vouch for regarding legal issues.
Recent events have led to a flood of requests from Scientologists and
ex-Scientologists who want to know how to procede legally.

Since many of these requests came from people who are lurkers on a.r.s. we
thought a public re-posting of these details should lessen the burden on our
e-mail system:
