Environmental Law in Context: Cases, Materials and Statutes (American Casebook Series)

Relying on graphics and flow charts as well as cases and administrative materials, this casebook provides a step-by-step introduction to six of the most important federal environmental statutes–the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Clean Water Act. At the same time, by discussing related issues throughout the text (not just in specialized units or chapters), this casebook immerses students in the real-life context of environmental law. It explores the connections and interplay among the federal environmental statutes and politics, science, economics, and other areas of law, including common law, statutory interpretation, administrative law, criminal law, constitutional law, federal Indian law, international law, and environmental justice. As a bonus, professors will receive a comprehensive set of Power Point slides, including animated graphics.
