Summary of the latest case on the Alien Tort Statute before the Supreme Court

Over at SCotUS blog, Amy Howe has published a good summary of the latest case on the Alien Tort Statute before the Supreme Court.  You can read it here.  The case is Jesner v. Arab Bank which addresses the question the Supreme Court was supposed to decide but didn't in  Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum :  whether corporations can be held liable under the ATS.

For my comments on Kiobel and other issues related to the Alien Tort Statute, go here and scroll down.
