It was on the same day that “Mad Men” announced that it would split its final season in half that arbitrators in Chevron v. Ecuador split their latest decision in half in 2013. Appropriately, the arbitrators’ sequel came last week, during the lead-up to the show’s final episodes. But unlike “Mad Men,” we know that the latest arbitral ruling ends with a cliffhanger. Herewith, a guide to the next season of the world’s longest-running legal dramedy, which debuts April 20 with the split-screen airing of the Chevron v. Donziger appeal and the Chevron v. Ecuador arbitration trial.
For viewers arriving late: Chevron is arguing everywhere imaginable that Ecuadorean plaintiffs—represented by U.S. lawyer Steven Donziger—used fraud to win a $9.5 billion environmental judgment in the Amazon town of Lago Agrio, Ecuador.
