Technology Transfer: Fighting Climate Change And Pursuing Equity Through The Transfer Of Energy Efficient And Renewable Energy Technologies, Craig M. Scott

All Papers

The present paper was prepared in the first half of 1991 in collaboration with three national sections of Friends of the Earth (Indonesia, Ghana and Canada). It was written by Craig Scott, with input and feedback from each section, and then edited by Robert Hornung. The purpose of the paper was to provide a discussion document of a “white paper” sort that could be used, as seen fit by Friends of the Earth and allied civil society organizations, in the advocacy efforts before, during and after either the official Earth Summit (of states) in Rio de Janeiro that led to …

Environmental Law, Edward A. Kazmarek, W. Scott Laseter

Mercer Law Review

Environmental law matured during the last decade to occupy a leading role in American jurisprudence. News of the dominance of environmental issues will come as no surprise to anyone practicing law today. At least one attorney in almost every private law firm specializes in environmental law, and most larger law firms devote entire departments to the field. As environmental law grows more and more complex, staying abreast of its sometimes shocking developments becomes increasingly difficult.

Misusing Procedural Devices To Dismiss An Environmental Lawsuit—Lugan V. National Wildlife Federation, 110 S. Ct. 3177 (1990), Michael J. Shinn

Washington Law Review

In Lujan v. National Wildlife Federation, the Supreme Court upheld a grant of summary judgment against the National Wildlife Federation for lack of standing. The Court held that the federation failed to sufficiently claim specific injury to federation members. The Court also stated in dicta that the federation's claims were not ripe for review. The opinion does not apply precedent regarding summary judgment to the standing inquiry, and fails to apply precedent regarding ripeness to the facts of the case. This Note examines the reasoning of the Lujan Court, and compares the results reached with those suggested by unapplied precedents. …

Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note joins a rising chorus calling for government regulation of green marketing claims. It attempts to encourage and add a sense of urgency to a burgeoning regulatory movement by highlighting some of the legal issues that such regulation entails. Part I identifies a gap in the law: the inability of current truth-in-advertising laws to clarify the legality of green marketing claims. Part II urges bridging that gap quickly; it examines the costs of continued nonregulation and describes some of the forms regulation is taking. Part III attempts to allay any fears that such regulations might be challenged on first …

Oil Pollution Act Of 1990: Opening A New Era In Federal And Texas Regulation Of Oil Spill Prevention, Containment And Cleanup, And Liability, J.B. Ruhl, Michael J. Jewell

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article assesses Congress' effort, through enactment of OPA, to meet the goals it stated in 1989. Part II provides an overview of the fragmented" condition of pre-OPA federal law addressing oil spills and an examination of the deficiencies Congress believed existed in that body of law. An understanding of those perceived deficiencies is essential for interpreting OPA. Part III surveys the basic features of OPA, particularly its liability provisions. It concludes that, although OPA surely achieves a major overhaul of federal oil spill law, it is basically in the same boat. Part IV examines the response of the states …

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Roqu6 recounts her work as a doctoral candidate at Brown in developing standards for the regulation of airborne carcinogens.
