1. Even with a supportive court system, environmental outcomes can be jeopardized by state governments. A sad example is the New Jersey case against ExxonMobil Corporation. ExxonMobil was found liable for environmental damages that occurred to the natural resources in the Arthur Kill and Newark Bay areas. As described in an op-ed piece of Bradley M. Campbell in The New York Times (March 5, 2015), while a judge was deliberating over whether to assess the company for the $8.9 billion in damages that the state sought, Governor Chris Christie settled the suit for approximately three cents on the dollar. Whether the courts accept the settlement has yet to be determined as of this writing.
