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 California Oak Foundation amended their lawsuit to reflect the presence of the possible American Indian remains at the site in June, 2007. The three cases were consolidated and began September 19, 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or cases:
“You don’t need to know who’s playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president. A president has many roles.”
—James Baker (b. 1930)
“In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
