Last week, we reviewed the year-by-year data for the areas of law in which the government has appealed from 1990 through 2005. Today, we address the record for the years 2006 through 2012.

Surprisingly, the leading area of law for the court’s governmental entity cases between 2006 and 2012 was environmental law at 12 cases. The court decided eleven cases in governmental and administrative law, eight constitutional law cases, six employment law cases, three cases apiece in tort law, tax law, civil procedure and workers compensation, and one case in election law.
