Water law focuses on the development, allocation, use, and preservation of fresh water across and beneath the landscape. Its goal is to mediate interaction among humans seeking to use water and between humans and the water resource itself. The modern practice of water law requires not only an understanding of the judicial development of water law, but also the pervasive overlay of science-based agency administration, comprehensive water use statutory schemes, and adjudication. Similarly, because of the pervasive federal role in water resources development in the West, as well as the large amount of land and water owned by the United States and American Indian tribes, a modern water lawyer must understand that water law involves the interrelationship of three sovereigns: state, tribal, and federal government. Those entering the practice of water law today enter at a time when many water sources are fully appropriated, demand is increasing, and supply is less dependable due to climate change. Complicating matters, social values have shifted from solely viewing water as a commodity to be used and toward the recognition that instream (or "environmental") flows for a variety of purposes are an important water use. This casebook is designed to help students navigate this complex field of law. It also introduces the increasing role of diplomacy and development of novel solutions to solve modern water law problems. The co-authors hope that this approach will inspire a new generation of water law students to play a positive role in contemporary western water law.

Freyfogle, Eric

Foundation Press

Animals are living entities, organized into shifting, complex ecological systems, so biology plays a critical role in their story. Moral sentiments and ethical values have expanded to attend to the plight of particular animals, to species, and to the healthy functioning of communities, so ethical concerns appear as a key issue. Topics covered include the rule of capture; wildlife and private property; liability for wildlife; state proprietary and sovereign powers; the roles of state and national governments; Indian treaty rights; international wildlife law; state game laws; federal protection for species and wildlife habitat; biodiversity; endangered species; and climate change.

Wildlife Law (University Casebook Series)

This edition draws liberally upon the subject’s rich history, in law and culture. Without that history there can be no firm understanding of the subject. Animals are living entities, organized into shifting, complex ecological systems; from the first page, biology plays a critical role in our story. Moral sentiments and ethical values have expanded to attend to the plight of particular animals, to species, and to the healthy functioning of communities. Ethical concerns, too, appear in this edition as a key issue. The authors have, in effect, combined several wildlife law books into one, to give instructors freedom to tailor their courses as they see fit. Adopters of this edition need not endeavor to use the book in its entirety, nor is there reason to do so. Many of the chapters standalone and can be used in various combinations.
