Answer hint: We discussed the first 3 cases at the beginning of the semester.
We considered Overton Park later in the semester, at the beginning of our discussion of institutions for
managing risk. The settlement agreement in NRDC vs. EPA arose in our discussion of
the March 2005 Clean Air Mercury Rule. Kevin Leske discussed the last two cases during his visit; see
