Supreme Court Justice-designate Correale F. Stevens is unlikely to participate in a ruling on controversial amendments to the state’s Oil and Gas Act — signed into law as Act 13 — after he’s sworn into office.
Stevens, who was scheduled to take his oath of office today, last week told the Law Weekly he preferred not to speak about any specific case before the Supreme Court but did say he understands that a new justice who did not participate in a case’s oral argument would not be involved in ruling on the matter.
