Supreme Court to Hear Exxon Valdez Punitive Damages Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted a petition to hear Exxon's claim regarding the Exxon Valdez oil spill.  Exxon claims that the $2.5 billion punitive damage award was unlawful. 

New York Times reports the details here.  SCOTUSBlog reports the details here.

Haven't read the Petition for Certiorari yet, but will do so and digest shortly.
