A judge heard closing arguments Friday in a trial looking at state-issued exploratory permits near the proposed Pebble Mine site.
Eight Bristol Bay village corporations brought forward the lawsuit against the state and the Pebble Partnership
The court has to decide whether the state should have taken more steps before issuing the permits.
The plaintiff's attorney says the state should have done a public interest survey before approving any drilling.
The defense claims this is an attempt to interfere with the Pebble Mine project as a whole.
A decision is expected in the coming days.
