Reflections On Environmental Justice, Michael B. Gerrard Jan 2001

Reflections On Environmental Justice, Michael B. Gerrard

Faculty Scholarship

Environmental justice is a very hot topic. Yesterday's New York Times on the front page of the Metropolitan section had a story stating: Mid-Sized Plants Headed to Poor Areas. The story stated, "The Pataki administration acknowledges in its own study that the electric generators that it wants to install around New York City would go into poor heavily minority communities, a finding that supports some of the arguments of the project's opponents. This is quoting an unreleased environmental justice analysis that may or may not be valid, but it certainly shows how hot a topic it is. This morning …

Pesticide Toxicity, Human Subjects, And The Environmental Protection Agency's Dilemma, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson, Samuel Gorovitz Jan 2000

Pesticide Toxicity, Human Subjects, And The Environmental Protection Agency's Dilemma, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson, Samuel Gorovitz

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

Should humans be used as subjects in research designed to determine the toxicity of pesticides? If so, under what conditions should they be used? If not, why not, given that human subject testing is common in research studies designed to determine the safety and efficacy of drugs? Should the EPA seek, or even accept, the results of such research in formulating the evidentiary base it uses in making decisions about pesticide registration? This article does not propose to answer these questions, but to illuminate the process by which they are addressed and offer some suggestions about how other such questions …


Environmental And Brownfield Liability: Relative Influence On Corporate Expansion And Relocation, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson, Alan K. Reichert Jan 2000

Environmental And Brownfield Liability: Relative Influence On Corporate Expansion And Relocation, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson, Alan K. Reichert

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

Many states in America have enacted laws to encourage the development of contaminated properties. The laws attempt to do this by addressing one barrier to redevelopment, the environmental liability attached to contaminated properties. In general, the laws attempt to remove or reduce the significance of that barrier by reducing or eliminating the environmental liability risk attached to these properties. Our hypothesis was that these efforts cannot significantly encourage redevelopment because they fail to address non-environmental barriers to urban redevelopment. To determine whether this legislative focus on environmental liability is misplaced, we conducted a survey of Northeast Ohio businesses, which had …

Will The Circle Be Unbroken--The Miami Circle Discovery And It's Significance For Urban Evolution And Protection Of Indigenous Culture, Pamela G. Levinson Jan 2000

Will The Circle Be Unbroken--The Miami Circle Discovery And It's Significance For Urban Evolution And Protection Of Indigenous Culture, Pamela G. Levinson

St. Thomas Law Review

A mysterious, ancient stone circle carved into limestone bedrock discovered on a downtown Miami bayfront lot has set a legal precedent for the world. The unique formation known as the Miami Circle has been saved by the exercise of the ultimate power of government - eminent domain. Thus its relevance stretches beyond the local struggle to save one ancient archaeological curiosity. Rather, it stands as a model for the preservation of similar archaeological structures and artifacts found on private lands, which up to now have been vulnerable to destruction. It also stands as a model of hope for other sites …

Part III explains why the proposed protocol embodies a variant of the precautionary principle and why such policies may do more harm than good. This paper concludes with some …

Trends In The Supply And Demand For Environmental Lawyers, Michael B. Gerrard Jan 2000

Trends In The Supply And Demand For Environmental Lawyers, Michael B. Gerrard

Faculty Scholarship

The boom times for environmental lawyers were the late 1980s and the early 1990s. The June 1990 issue of Money magazine called environmental law a "fast-track career." Two or three years of experience with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a state environmental agency, the environmental units of the Justice Department, or a state attorney general's office were a ticket to a high-paying job in the private sector. Law students were clamoring to enter the field and law firms were scrambling to find experienced environmental lawyers, or to recycle newly underemployed antitrust lawyers into this burgeoning field.

Aboriginal Forestry: Community Management As Opportunity And Imperative, Deborah Curran, Michael M'Gonigle Oct 1999

Aboriginal Forestry: Community Management As Opportunity And Imperative, Deborah Curran, Michael M'Gonigle

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In recognition that forests are one of their greatest resources, Aboriginal peoples are considering how altered tenure arrangements might uphold traditional values, including ecological integrity, while providing economic and employment opportunities. However, the federal and provincial forest management structures have historically precluded First Nations from helping to define, and participate in, the forest industry. The authors explore the legal and regulatory basis of forest management in Canada, and assess how it facilitates or impedes Aboriginal management of traditional areas. This is done through a legislative and policy analysis, and through the use of case studies from across Canada. The authors …


Treaties In The Mist, Jarred Kassenoff Oct 1999

Treaties In The Mist, Jarred Kassenoff

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the survival of the mountain gorilla, a critically endangered species with only 300–350 individuals remaining, depends on strengthening international environmental treaties like CITES and addressing broader socio-political and economic factors. While CITES and the African Convention on Conservation provide important frameworks, their effectiveness is hindered by weaknesses such as lack of implementation, inadequate resources, and insufficient enforcement. The note emphasizes the need for treaties to shift from goal-oriented to implementation-oriented approaches, coupled with increased public awareness, political will, and resource allocation, to ensure the species’ survival.

Exotic Policy: An Ijc White Paper On Policies For The Prevention Of The Invasion Of The Great Lakes By Exotic Organisms, Eric Reeves Jul 1999

Exotic Policy: An Ijc White Paper On Policies For The Prevention Of The Invasion Of The Great Lakes By Exotic Organisms, Eric Reeves

Water Law Documents

About ten years ago, the Great Lakes environmental community initiated the first action to counteract the worldwide spread of exotic organisms in ballast water. In 1988, in response to the discovery of the ruffe and the zebra mussel in the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the International Joint Commission called upon the Canadian and United States Governments to act. In 1989, Canada issued the first voluntary ballast exchange guidelines. In 1990, the United States passed the first major piece of legislation on aquatic nuisance species, mandating consultations and studies on all pathways for aquatic invasions. And in …


Salmon And The Endangered Species Act: Lessons From The Columbia Basin, Michael C. Blumm, Greg D. Corbin Jul 1999

Salmon And The Endangered Species Act: Lessons From The Columbia Basin, Michael C. Blumm, Greg D. Corbin

Washington Law Review

Within the last decade, the Columbia Basin, once home to the world's largest salmon runs, has witnessed numerous listings of its signature natural resource under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). These listings have propelled the ESA into the forefront of land and water use decisionmaking across a vast landscape of the Pacific Northwest This Article examines the Columbia Basin salmon listings and their aftermath. Specifically, it considers the effect of the ESA's consultation requirements on hydroelectric, hatchery, harvest, and habitat decisionmaking. The Article draws several lessons from this examination, many of them surprising, including the assertion that the listings have …
