Title: The Supreme Court Revisits the Environment: Seven Cases Decided or Accepted in the 2003-2004 Term
Authors: Robert Meltz, American Law Division 
Abstract: In the Supreme Courts 2003-2004 term, concluded June, 2004, the Court accepted for review seven environmental cases  an unusually large number. The reason for this renewed interest in environmental cases at this particular time is, of course, speculative; the Court does not explain why it accepts cases. In any event, five decisions were rendered, and two cases set for oral argument in the 2004-2005 term. This report reviews the cases and then comments on them.
