Climate Change And Small Island States: Adr Ift In A Raising Sea Of Legal Uncertainty, Jeremy Kelley
Climate Change And Small Island States: Adr Ift In A Raising Sea Of Legal Uncertainty, Jeremy Kelley
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
In 1999, the rising sea level swallowed two islands of the nation Kiribati. Rising sea level is one of the effects of climate change to which small island nations are particularly susceptible. Considering that the average elevation of this nation of ninety thousand people on thirty-three islands and atolls is only about two meters above sea level, it is no surprise that Kiribati’s President Anote Tong considers the rising sea a threat to the very existence of his nation.6 Taking a cue from a policy first announced by the Maldives, President Tong has suggested that the solution to his nation’s …

A Failure Of Conscience: How Pakistan’S Devastating Floods Compare To America’S Experience During Katrina, Oded Cedar
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
Americans, seeing the destruction this summer from floods in Pakistan, cannot help but draw comparisons to the devastation in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Both raised serious questions about governmental response to natural disasters, although the failings of both governments do not permit easy comparisons. Despite the differences between the two, Pakistan can learn from the U.S. response to Katrina: that with overcrowding in urban areas and limited resources, Pakistan will likely be unable to overcome the geographic challenges of evacuation. Instead, Pakistan must rely on flood prevention techniques, primarily in its cities, as its central line of defense.
An Idea Of American Indian Land Justice: Examining Native Land Liberation In The New Progressive Era, Richael Faithful
An Idea Of American Indian Land Justice: Examining Native Land Liberation In The New Progressive Era, Richael Faithful
Celebrating WCL Student Authors
This article is inspired by Professor Robert Odawi Porter’s remarks during the 2009 D.C. Federal Indian Bar conference in which he outlined a seemingly radical proposal for “land liberation” for American Indian tribes – the abandonment of United States trusteeship over tribal land, and return of title and associated rights to numerous tribes who have lost their land due to nefarious governmental policies and bad deals. In an effort to bridge Porter’s visionary legal viewpoint with renowned economist and philosopher, Amartya Sen’s recent visionary contribution on justice, An Idea of American Indian Land Justice, helps revive an Indian law, critical …

2001 Supreme Court Redux, Mary Stevens
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
In 1959, petitioner and his fellow corporate associates purchased a waterfront parcel of land in Rhode Island that was primarily a salt marsh plagued by tidal flooding. Over a period of many years, the corporation filed several petitions seeking to develop the land with various government agencies and was consistently denied. In 1971, Rhode Island promulgated regulations designating salt marshes, such as petitioner's, as protected coastal wetlands. In 1978, petitioner became the corporation's sole shareholder and received title for the land. In the 1980's, he applied to the state to fill in his marshland and was rejected based on the …

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
The article is an in-depth exploration of the impacts of an Indian tribe's decision to pursue an environmentally destructive form of economic development. The history of Navajo Nation's coal leasing provides the background for the tribe's recent proposal to build a coal-fired power plant and the controversies surrounding the proposal and the environmental review process.

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
The potentially groundbreaking negotiations currently underway on the international response to climate change and national implementation of commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) include a number of hotly contested issues: (1) what degree of climate change is acceptable as a basis for emissions targets, (2) to what extent and in what ways climate change mitigation should incorporate emissions reductions or increased sinks for developing countries, (3) whether the legal regime governing mitigation can take advantage of the huge mitigation potential of changed practices in the land use and agricultural sectors, (4) how adaptation should be …

India's Toxic Landfills: A Dumping Ground For The World's Electronic Waste, Nisha Thakker
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
From New Delhi in the north, to Calcutta in the south, a repetitive striking image is found in India’s metropolises. One reporter writes of a “hostile zone” in Calcutta where “high brick walls block the views of activities going on with- in.” What hides behind those walls, however, tells a chilling tale of what happens to the discarded electronics of developed countries. These electronic waste (“e-waste”) scrap yards have become common in India. Within these landfills children “as young as eight-years-old tear apart electronic components with bare hands, while vats of acid lying just a few feet away bubble like …

Covering this landscape was a brown, filmy sediment left behind by Katrina’s polluted floodwaters, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) early tests showed had high levels of E. coli bacteria, oil and gas chemicals, lead, and varying quantities of arsenic. Other tests also found benzo(a)pyrene and petroleum hydrocarbons at levels above the EPA’s safe limit standards.2 Coastal towns became contaminated when the hurricane lifted up bayou sludge, polluted for decades by industrial chemicals, heavy metals, and organic petrochemicals.
