Numerous state attorneys general -- including California attorney general Kamala Harris -- have banded together to investigate what ExxonMobil did and didn't know about global warming over the last several decades.  A subpoena issued by the U.S. Virgin Islands attorney general seeks Exxon records dating back to 1977 -- including communications with 90 private organizations and dozens of private individuals.  Other subpoenas have been issued to private organizations.  John S. Baker Jr., visiting professor at Georgetown University Law Center, will discuss the merits of the investigation and its broader implications.

The cost to attend the luncheon is $25.  Dues-paying members of the Federalist Society may pay a discounted rate of $20.  Payment -- check or cash only -- will be accepted at the door.
