Before I introduce the contents of The Guide, however, let me offer a brief overview of the lawsuit:
The case pits the Amazon Defense Coalition, led by a Philadelphia-based lawyer, who claims to represent tens of thousands of indigenous people damaged by the reckless actions of Texaco Oil Company as it operated in a partnership with state-owned PetroEcuador from 1964 to 1990. Because Chevron Corporation purchased Texaco in 2001, the United States’ third-largest company became the target of — or defendant in — the class-action lawsuit that’s now in its 16th year and is expected to be decided upon in an Ecuadoran court within months.

Also, here's a great blog about the mess Chevron left in Ecuador: http://www.thechevronpit.blogspot.com
Anna Kay -- That's not a great blog at all, because it sides with the class-action filers from Philadelphia, not with justice.
