Enviromental Policy Law: Problems, Cases, and Readings (University Casebook Series)

"Although it has in some respects matured over the past two decades, environmental law remains an exciting and controversial field" according to Schoenbaum (U. of Georgia School of Law) and his colleagues. It is also relevant to the practices of most lawyers. Taking a broad view encompassing regulation of private and public land use, protection of wildlife, and pollution control and remediation, this text suitable for an introductory environmental/natural resources law course addresses environmental policy perspectives, common law, administrative law, national vs. state powers; and issues and cases related to natural resources, toxics and wastes, and pollution control. Chapters include problems for class discussion. Includes a table of cases. The copyright dates of previous editions are 1996, 1991, 1985, and 1982.
