The Case Files from the Pennsylvania Research series were used for studies in the othe subseries.

This subseries documents ASLF's projects in the Southwest states, including: Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The majority of projects are from Arizona, where ASLF's Southwest Environmental Project (SWEP) worked in conjunction with local attorneys and local community groups, such as, Don't Waste Arizona. Several of the cases involved landfills in Cochise County which were closed or scheduled to close.

The correspondence in this subseries is a mix of letters received by Schaefer as well as carbon copies of letters sent by him or his secretary, Alice Klopfer. The archivist believes that the filing system used in this subseries was created by Ms. Klopfer and has been preserved accordingly. Most folders are titled by the name of the person or company for whom Schaefer was consulting, but there are also files titled simply by letter of the alphabet—these contain correspondence from sources that were not numerous enough to warrant their own folders, and are identified within each folder by subject.
