Roe v. Unocal, Inc.
(Louisiana Superior Court)
Alien tort litigation
The NAM sent a letter to the Legal Adviser at the Department of State urging the Administration to take an active role in cases brought in U.S. courts by foreign nationals against American companies. Typically these cases involve allegations that arise from actions by a foreign sovereign, and U.S. court involvement in such disputes could undermine the exclusive authority of the President to speak for the United States on issues relating to relations with foreign states.
