Supreme Court Weighs Jurisdiction in Case Against Oil Companies
Original: Justices Grapple With Questions of Jurisdiction in Case Against Oil Companies

Why now: The outcome could decide whether climate liability lawsuits against oil companies move forward in state courts or are dismissed to federal jurisdiction.
