If you're not a lawyer, maybe it does. If you are a lawyer, such stuff is your bread and butter. Centuries ago mankind settled serious disputes with sticks and stones. That's why I disagree with folks who says we are a society that is too litigious.
Litigation is the civil alternative to fist-fighting, to armed insurrection, to war.
The West Virginia Highlands Conservancy finds itself increasingly involved in litigation. Most often we sue to compel state or federal agencies to do what the laws say they are supposed to do. Public officeholders take oaths to faithfully execute the laws. I thought that meant to follow and see that agencies under their charge follow the laws. We, like most environmental organizations, usually resort to litigation only after years of asking, lobbying, begging, pleading and trying to educate public officials about their responsibility to faithfully execute the laws, especially environmental laws.
