WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court today agreed to hear arguments in two closely watched challenges, one involving the largest job bias class in history, and the other, global warming.
The justices directed the parties in Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes to brief and argue two questions involving the certification of a class of about 1.5 million past and present female employees.

Connecticut , the justices will decide whether states and private parties are able to use the law of nuisance to sue five electric utilities for injunctive relief to cap their carbon dioxide emissions.
