    We acknowledge the support of the Environmental Law Section in funding the access to the Casemaker libraries and Chris Dunn at Lawriter.net for his help in deciphering the search parameters for early Michigan cases, the court rules, administrative rules and other libraries, which were necessary to provide hyperlinking in the chapters.
