Chevron Corporation, et al. v. City of Hoboken, New Jersey, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 21-2728, 22-1096 · judgment August 17, 2022
Before the decision, about 2.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Third Circuit decision below, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Whether a federal district court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 over nominally state-law claims seeking redress for injuries allegedly caused by the effect of transboundary greenhouse gas emissions on the global climate, on the ground that federal law necessarily and exclusively governs such claims.
