Mealey's ( May 19, 2020, 11:15 AM EDT) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court on May 18 concluded that plaintiffs may seek $4.3 billion in punitive damages against the Republic of Sudan, which supported terrorism attacks against two U.S. embassies in 1998.

Republic of Sudan, et al., No. 17-1268, U.S. Sup., 2020 U.S. LEXIS 2844)....
