Meade Emory, JD, LLM, is an Attorney , a professor of Law at the University Of Washington School of Law, a former Assistant to the Commissioner of the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and a co-founder of the Church Of Spiritual Technology (CST), which does business as the L. Ron Hubbard Library . Emory served as Legislation Counsel for the U.S. Congress Joint Committee On Taxation from 1970 to 1972 . He has also taught at the University Of California, Davis , the University Of California, Los Angeles , Georgetown University , Northwestern University and several other law schools. Professor Emory is admitted to the bar in Washington, D.C. , Washington State , and Iowa . Although Emory serves on the CST board, which controls sacred Church Of Scientology (CoS) scriptures, he is not a professed Scientologist . EDUCATION In 1954 , Emory received his bachelor's degree from George Washington University , where he also earned his JD in 1958 . In 1963 , he earned his LLM in Taxation from the Boston University School of Law. CAREER Prior to becoming a congressional Tax counsel in 1970, Emory was an attorney in private practice with Lane Powell Spears Lubersky, LLP , in Seattle, Washington . Around January, 1975 Emory became the assistant to IRS Commissioner Donald C. Alexander . During his tenure in this position, between 1975 and 1977 , IRS documents were stolen by an IRS employee, and were passed secretly to the CoS's Guardian's Office . The Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) subsequently raided Scientology headquarters in 1977, leading directly to the renaming of the CoS's Guardian's Office, which was reconstituted as the Office Of Special Affairs , and to the overthrow, within the CoS, of Mary Sue Hubbard . {Link without Title} Not long afterards, around February, 1980 , L. Ron Hubbard disappeared mysteriously, and was only seen by a few close associates thereafter, which in turn has led to speculation, and litigation, about the propriety of CST's control over L. Ron Hubbard 's extensive copyrights. {Link without Title} L. RON HUBBARD LIBRARY The L. Ron Hubbard Library owns all the original L. Ron Hubbard copyrights and all the new versions of work authored or co-authored by others, but sold using the name of L. Ron Hubbard. A default regarding these publications has been entered in a Libel suit with a face value of $190 million. {Link without Title} Hubbard's copyrights were transferred to CST after the CoS was controversially granted tax exemption by the IRS in 1993 . As a result of that tax exemption, CST now also holds the power and authority to seize all trademarks that are related in any way to Dianetics or Scientology. Critics contend that Emory is the principal architect of Hubbard's disputed probate and of the current Scientology empire. PUBLICATIONS
