The Environmentalist Attack On Environmental Law, John Copeland Nagle
The Environmentalist Attack On Environmental Law, John Copeland Nagle
Journal Articles
This essay reviews two books written by leading scholars that express profound dissatisfaction with the ability of environmental law to actually protect the environment. Mary Wood’s “Nature’s Trust: Environmental Law for a New Ecological Age” calls for “deep change in environmental law,” emphasizing the roles that agency issuance of permits to modify the environment and excessive deference to agency decisions play in ongoing environmental destruction. Wood proposes a “Nature’s Trust” built on the public trust doctrine to empower courts to play a much more aggressive role in overseeing environmental decisionmaking. In “Green Governance: Ecological Survival, Human Rights, and the Law …
China’S Law And Practice As A Coastal State For The Prevention Of Vessel-Source Pollution, Nengye Liu
China’S Law And Practice As A Coastal State For The Prevention Of Vessel-Source Pollution, Nengye Liu
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
China is a major maritime nation with 18,ooo km of mainland coastline.1 The marine environment is of fundamental importance for China's economic development and environmental protection. According to the National Report on Social and Economic Development, in 2010, China imported 239.31 million tonnes of crude oil and 36.88 million tonnes of refined oil.2 Approximately 95 percent of oil imports are carried by maritime transportation. This creates significant risk of marine pollution such as oil, oily wastes and invasive species from ballast wateL Globally, maritime transport is responsible for 12 percent of total marine pollution.3 The United Nations Convention on the …
How National Park Law Really Works, John Copeland Nagle
How National Park Law Really Works, John Copeland Nagle
Journal Articles
This article provides the first explanation of the relationship between the three overlapping sources of national park law. It first explains how the Organic Act affords the National Park Service substantial discretion to manage the national parks, including deciding the proper balance between enjoyment and conservation in particular instances. It next shows how federal environmental statutes push national park management toward preservation rather than enjoyment. Third, Congress often intervenes to mandate particular management outcomes at individual parks, typically but not always toward enjoyment rather than preservation. The result is that the NPS has substantial discretion to manage national parks in …
America’S Forgotten Nuclear Waste Dump In The Pacific, Michael B. Gerrard
America’S Forgotten Nuclear Waste Dump In The Pacific, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
During the Cold War the United States detonated sixty-seven nuclear weapons over the atolls of Bikini and Enewetak in the Marshall Islands. In the late 1970s the United States addressed the massive amount of residual contamination by abandoning Bikini as permanently uninhabitable and pushing much of the waste at Enewetak into the open lagoon. Much of the plutonium was dumped into the crater that had been left by an atomic bomb explosion, and then covered with a thin shell of cement. The resultant “Runit dome” sits unmarked and unguarded in a small island and one day will be submerged by …

A Three-Legged Stool On Two Legs: Recent Federal Law Related To Local Climate Resilience Planning And Zoning, Sarah Adams-Schoen, Edward Thomas
Scholarly Works
Notwithstanding a critical gap between climate change related risks and preparedness in the United States, congress has yet to pass any federal law expressly addressing climate change hazard mitigation (or any other aspect of climate change) and appears unlikely to do so anytime soon. Despite this, the first half of 2015 has seen a number of actions in the other two branches of the federal government with significant implications for local hazard mitigation planning, zoning, and development. Of particular note, and as discussed in more detail below, the President issued an Executive Order and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) …

This collection of essays is the initial product of the second meeting of the Environmental Law Collaborative, a group of environmental law scholars that meet to discuss important and timely environmental issues. Here, the group provides an array of perspectives arising from the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Each scholar chose one passage from one of the IPCC’s three Summaries for Policymakers as a jumping-off point for exploring climate change issues and responding directly to the reports. The result is a variety of viewpoints on the future of how law relates to climate change, a result …
Environmental Law In Austerity, J.B. Ruhl, James Salzman, Jonathan Nash
Environmental Law In Austerity, J.B. Ruhl, James Salzman, Jonathan Nash
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Given the political dynamic in play at the national level, with the country evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, and incumbent Tea Party and other politicians highly critical of the EPA, there is no reason to think this trend in decreasing environmental budgets will change any time soon. In some states the trend is even more pronounced. Fiscal austerity has become the new norm. The interesting questions are whether this matters for environmental law, how it matters, and what it means going forward.
Understanding Judgments Recognition, Ronald A. Brand
Understanding Judgments Recognition, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
The twenty-first century has seen many developments in judgments recognition law in both the United States and the European Union, while at the same time experiencing significant obstacles to further improvement of the law. This article describes two problems of perception that have prevented a complete understanding of the law of judgments recognition on a global basis, particularly from a U.S. perspective. The first is a proximity of place problem that has resulted in a failure to understand that, unlike the United States, many countries allow their own courts to hear cases based on a broad set of bases of …
