This article aims to give a succinct review of notable criminal
law and procedure cases decided by the Supreme Court of Virginia
and the Court of Appeals of Virginia during the past year. Instead
of covering every ruling or rationale in these cases, the article
focuses on the "take-away" of the holdings with the most
precedential value. The article also summarizes noteworthy

Public Land & Resources Law Review
A peat mining company will not be required to obtain a permit under the Clean Water Act to discharge dredged and fill material into wetlands.

Further, the district court enjoined the Corps from asserting jurisdiction a third time because it would force the mining company through a “never ending loop” of administrative law.

This Article criticizes the 2016 Texas Supreme Court school finance decision, the latest of seven decisions starting in 1989, for its disregard of both the record in the case and the realities of the Texas Constitution and Texas politics. The Article also focuses on how standards for reviewing legislation have changed and the Texas Supreme Court's irrational and unfounded retreat to the "money doesn't make a difference" theory of school finance.
