Today at the Supreme Court | 2.27.08
At 10 a.m., the Court is scheduled to hear argument in Exxon v. Baker (07-219), on the legality under federal maritime law of the $2.5 billion punitive damages award resulting from the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Walter Dellinger of Washington, D.C., will argue for the petitioner, and Jeffrey Fisher of Stanford Law School will argue for the respondent. The argument is scheduled to last 90 minutes.
In advance of the argument, the Court may release one or more opinions on the merits.
Good luck to Professor Fisher today. Exxon must pay up, it’s not right to let this continue to happen. The poor fisherman just want some money so they can actually live their life without suffering because of the irresponsibiity of a corporation
