Haub Visiting Scholar Discussion
Across the country, states and local governments are pursuing lawsuits against fossil fuel companies in state courts, seeking compensation for climate-related harms under various tort theories. On October 5, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, a case that could have significant implications for whether these lawsuits can proceed.
Join current Haub Law scholar, James Salzman, alongside former Haub Visiting Scholar Dr. Sam Bookman, and Professor Katrina Kuh for a timely discussion of the case, including its broader significance, key takeaways from the oral arguments, and predictions for how the Supreme Court may ultimately rule.
