Court Cases
In addition to the tree sit-ins, the University has been sued by three parties to prevent construction of the facility: The California Oak Foundation which wants to save the trees, the City of Berkeley which is concerned with site safety, and the Panoramic Hill Association which worries about increased traffic loads.

The three cases were consolidated and began September 19, 2007.
