Description

Environmental Law and Policy is a user-friendly, concise, affordable treatment of environmental law. Written to be highly readable and enjoyable rather than a dry reference source, the book provides a broad conceptual overview of environmental law while also explaining the major statutes and cases. The book includes multiple problem exercises, describing a legal or policy conflict in detail and asking students to identify and assess solutions. The new edition is fully updated to include policy initiatives of the Biden Administration, important recent Supreme Court decisions through the 2023-2024 term (Sackett, Loper Bright Enterprises, Jarkesy, Cedar Point Nursery), and the emerging role of Native American tribes in environmental law. The first part of the book provides an engaging discussion of the major themes and issues that cross-cut environmental law, including a new problem exercise on the Rights of Nature. The second part of the book examines the substance of environmental law, with separate sections on each of the major statutes. The third part of the book discusses important issues of natural resources law, including the public trust doctrine, endangered species conservation, wetlands protection, and energy issues. Part four addresses environmental impact statements and the National Environmental Policy Act. The book is one of the most widely adopted environmental texts not only in law schools but in both undergraduate and graduate classes.
