Chapter Seven
Photos
Photographs of people, places, and things mentioned in chapter seven. The number on the left indicates the page on which the content of the photo is mentioned in the book. Many of the photos also link to additional material.
Page 776 -- Mineral King Valley. This is the area the future of which was in dispute in Sierra Club v. Morton. Not a principal case, but highly photogenic.
Page 786 -- Coastal home in Massachusetts. A 2022 photograph from Truro, Massachusetts (on Cape Cod) illustrating the coastal erosion that the Supreme Court held was an adequate injury in fact in Mass. v. EPA. The house has since been moved further back from the beach and still stands.
Page 777 -- Manuel Lujan Jr., the petitioner in Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife and Secretary of the Interior in the George H.W. Bush administration, is pictured with Morris Udall in 1988. Lujan was a 10-term Republican Congressman from New Mexico before becoming Secretary. Much of Lujan's time at the Interior Department was marked by fights over the Endangered Species Act; the fight in the case in the casebook was overshadowed by other controversies, most notably the dispute over protections for the Northern Spotted Owl.
