[Avodah] Secular courts

[fyawitz at actcom.net.il]

Does anyone know offhand if there has already been a discussion of the 
prohibition on litigation in secular courts (erkaot) and the various "Rabbis" 
who give out blanket heterim to do so on Avodah?  If anyone knows where to 
look for this on Avodah, I would appreciate if they would email me offlist 
with the information.

(Moderators: If this belongs on Areivim, please bounce it there without me 
having to send it again.)

Thanks,

Ephraim
