Visualizing Ecology

This handout is 34 pages, so you are encouraged to print on two-sided paper. Please read pp. 1-18 (Justice Burger's opinion on befalf of the majority) and pp. 33-34 (Justice Renquist's dissent). The remainder of the material is footnotes, which will be useful as a reference. Try to understand the general story line and major arguments; do not worry about understanding the bits of technical legal vocabulary.
