Using Developing Professional Skills: Environmental Law as a supplement to your regular casebook makes it easy to integrate skills training into the classroom. The book contains nine exercises designed to develop skills in drafting, client interviewing and counseling, negotiation, and advocacy, in addition to providing an opportunity for students to hone legal research and analytical skills. Many of the exercises are intended to help students understand regulations and to effectively represent their clients in the administrative law context. Students spend a manageable two to three hours on tasks including: interviewing a client; e-mail correspondence; drafting comments in response to a notice of proposed rulemaking; drafting and responding to a citizen suit complaint or a petition for review of administrative action; preparing an outline of key arguments supporting a motion to dismiss; drafting a response to a motion for a preliminary injunction; and negotiating with a regulator. Each chapter prompts students to grapple with ethical issues and to apply the Model Rules of Professional Conduct as well. A comprehensive Teacher's Manual provides guidance and suggestions for resolving the legal issues posed by the problems and for expanding the classroom discussion to include professional responsibility concepts and the norms of modern legal practice. Developing Professional Skills: Environmental Law can be used as a supplement for Natural Resources courses as well as Environmental Law courses. Two of the chapters are directly relevant to substantive topics often taught in Natural Resources courses: Chapter 2 (The Endangered Species Act) and Chapter 3 (NEPA). Two other chapters cover topics and procedures that any student or practitioner of Natural Resources Law should know: Chapter 1 (The Federal Register) and Chapter 9 (Toxic Torts, involving contamination from an abandoned gold mine).

Developing Professional Skills: Environmental Law

Environmental & Natural Resources Law

West Academic Publishing

A pioneering model for constructing and assessing government authority and achieving policy goals more effectively Regulation is frequently less successful than it could be, largely because the allocation of authority to regulatory institutions, and the relationships between them, are misunderstood. As a result, attempts to create new regulatory programs or mend under-performing ones are often poorly designed. Reorganizing Government explains how past approaches have failed to appreciate the full diversity of alternative approaches to organizing governmental authority. The authors illustrate the often neglected dimensional and functional aspects of inter-jurisdictional relations through in-depth explorations of several diverse case studies involving securities and banking regulation, food safety, pollution control, resource conservation, and terrorism prevention. This volume advances an analytical framework of governmental authority structured along three dimensions―centralization, overlap, and coordination. Camacho and Glicksman demonstrate how differentiating among these dimensions better illuminates the policy tradeoffs of organizational alternatives, and reduces the risk of regulatory failure. The book also explains how differentiating allocations of authority based on governmental function can lead to more effective regulation and governance. The authors illustrate the practical value of this framework for future reorganization efforts through the lens of climate change, an emerging and vital global policy challenge, and propose an “adaptive governance” infrastructure that could allow policy makers to embed the creation, evaluation, and adjustment of the organization of regulatory institutions into the democratic process itself.

Reorganizing Government: A Functional and Dimensional Framework

This casebook focuses on five representative agencies to provide students with a more holistic understanding of the structure and functions of agencies, to illustrate the kinds of actions agencies take to implement their statutory mandates, and to provide context for examining the legal constraints on those actions. 
Two key problems for teaching and learning administrative law are (1) students’ lack of familiarity with agencies, what they do, and their role in the tri-partite system of government established by the Constitution; and (2) the need to understand new and different agencies and figure out their organic statutes for each new administrative law case. 
Other key features of the book are: 
<ul>
<li>The use of a consistent “unit” format throughout the book to maximize student understanding </li>
<li>Adaptability to various teaching methods (e.g., lecture, Socratic, or problem method). </li>
<li>Flexibility of coverage, including unit clusters that allow teachers to decide the level of coverage for key topics, ranging from a basic overview provided by a single unit to more extensive treatment through coverage of several related units</li>
</ul>
By focusing on five important and representative agencies (the EPA, NLRB, SSA, IRS, and FCC), the book addresses both problems. Extended treatment of these agencies, including one chapter each that uses the agency to present the legal issues surrounding a particular kind of agency action (e.g., EPA to illustrate administrative law issues concerning rulemaking, the NLRB to illustrate the issues arising from agency efforts to make policy through adjudication), provides students with a clearer sense of how agencies are structured, what they do, and how they do it. In addition, our book provides an efficient mechanism for teaching and learning about administrative law: because the principal cases used to illustrate administrative law doctrine and present administrative law issues involve the same five agencies, the need to learn about new agencies and understand new organic statutes is greatly reduced, enabling students and teachers to focus on the administrative law issues in the cases.

Extended treatment of these five agencies, including one chapter for each agency that focuses on the use of a particular kind of agency action (rulemaking, policymaking adjudication, mass adjudication, informal action, and enforcement) provides students with a more complete picture of what agencies do and how they do it. Because the principal cases and problems involve the same five agencies throughout the book, the need to learn about new agencies and understand new organic statutes is greatly reduced, enabling students and teachers to focus on the administrative law issues in the cases. The book uses a consistent “unit” format throughout. Each unit covers a particular topic and includes (1) a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic doctrine governing the topic; (2) a principal case or cases to illustrate the application of the doctrine and highlight key issues; (3) a discussion of related matters to explore additional issues and connections between topics; and (4) a detailed administrative law problem requiring the application of the doctrine in context. This unique structure and design facilitates the use of the book with a variety of teaching methods, including the Socratic method, lecture and discussion, and the problem method. Because it combines clear exposition, illustrative principal cases, and comprehensive problems, the book is also an ideal tool for teachers who want to flip their classrooms. This unit structure also enhances the flexibility of the book, allowing teachers to select topics for coverage and determine the depth of coverage they wish to provide. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to include the most recent Supreme Court decisions and cutting-edge court of appeals decisions, streamlined to reduce length and improve focus, and revised to enhance its effectiveness as a teaching and learning tool.

This innovative skills supplement allows teachers in courses on administrative law or statutory and regulatory programs to supplement their substantive coverage with skills instruction in statutory analysis designed to reinforce the doctrinal coverage of their courses. Skills covered include working with statutes to understand statutory programs and develop a framework for analysis, using the framework to identify the key issues and operative terms, parsing the text to understand the operative terms in context, and developing interpretive arguments and analysis for ambiguous terms. The book uses a combination of explanatory materials, specific examples, practical exercises, and comprehensive problems to teach students how to analyze statutory issues. All of these materials are selected to reinforce the substantive coverage in courses such as Administrative Law, Regulation, and Legislation, including introductory first-year courses as well as upper level courses. The examples and exercises are based on leading statutes and cases for the modern regulatory state, and the materials are arranged and presented flexibly so the book can be used in a wide variety of courses and course designs.
