Introduction

The case or Litigation matrix lists all legal actions related to preserving and restoring the Everglades ecosystem currently housed by The Law Library.  While this is not an exhaustive compendium of all such litigation, it represents the largest known collection currently available anywhere. 

Only a small subset of what the collection houses is currently on-line.  We are constantly adding from our collection and compiling more recent material for future inclusion.  Please visit frequently.

How to search

The Litigation matrix has three components:

1    Jurisdiction, in what court was the case filed
2    Year, when was the case filed
3    Case number, the number the court assigned to the case

The matrix is ordered by jurisdiction on the top and year of filing on the side.   The case number and style are marked at the appropriate intersections of jurisdiction and year.

Cases with available documents will have their court selected case numbers highlighted.   Clicking on the case number will take you the that case's homepage containing introductory information and links to available pleadings, transcripts, and other material.

Scope of the matrix

Although the Litigation Matrix lists over fifty cases, many have yet to have material added for on-line access.   Please visit regularly as we will add more documents.

Available cases

The following cases have documents available on-line..  By clicking on the case number you will be linked to the case's home page.
