For undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Environmental Law and Environmental Policy.
An introduction to environmental law for 'non-law' students.
Environmental Law is designed to introduce those without any legal or special scientific training to the system through which the nation attempts to preserve and protect the different aspects of our environment.
Support for “non-law” students: Introductory Chapters.
Before students can effectively learn about environmental law, it’s important for them to have a basic understanding of how the American legal system operates. The first two chapters of this text provide an overview of the American legal system, as well as administrative law.((
Provide the necessary background: The Scientific Information that Creates the Law.
With this text, readers don’t only get a legal tutorial—they are also presented with information on the science that justifies the legal response. This useful background information is provided in every chapter of the text. ((
Examine today’s laws and policies: The Obama Administration.
Although the Obama Administration has been in office less than a full term, it has already made several significant changes that will greatly affect the future of environmental law. These changes have been integrated throughout the text.
