Court Battles

Since our founding in 1970, NRDC has been in court defending the environment and human health. Litigation is in our DNA. Here, you can follow some of our landmark cases. You can also follow the timeline of our lawsuits against the Trump administration—from our first successful challenge within two weeks of the presidency to our 100th lawsuit less than three years later. Whether up against a fossil fuel corporation or a reckless president, NRDC will continue using facts, evidence, and the rule of law to enforce safeguards and hold polluters accountable.
