This is a review of significant environmental law (and some administrative law) cases decided in 2016 (except, by necessity, for the month on December 2016) by federal and state courts. In view of its length, this article will be published in three parts.
Part 1 will cover cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts sitting in the DC, First, Second, Third and Fourth Circuits. Part 2 will highlight cases decided by the federal courts sitting in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Circuits. Finally, part 3 will cover cases decided in the Tenth and Eleventh Circuits, as well as several state supreme courts.
U.S. Supreme Court
In contrast to more recent terms, the 2015 to 2016 term of the Supreme Court produced only a handful of notable environmental or administrative law decisions.
