Protection Forests: Intersections Of Law And Science, Jamison E. Colburn

Natural Resources Journal

The national forests of the eastern United States are where and what they are today based in good part on a mistake. When they were being acquired and established in the early twentieth century, hydrology was in its infancy. Yet many hydrologists and their students in government were promising that these forests would provide significant protection from floods. They promised more than they should have. Forests as protection from floods were embroiled in a contentious and prolonged factual inquiry almost immediately thereafter. Indeed, that inquiry would later mature into a distinct scientific subfield, forest hydrology, that went on to influence …

Rights Of Nature: An Argument For Judicial Economy, Anna Belinski-Huber

Natural Resources Journal

Tracing the evolution of the “rights of nature” movement from Indigenous law and early environmental ethics to modern global applications, this article reframes the debate around codification of legal rights for nature from moral theory to legal efficiency, arguing that the United States implicitly recognizes rights of nature within its environmental jurisprudence and statutory framework. Through detailed analyses of the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act alongside corresponding case studies, the author demonstrates how courts and Congress have already expanded standing, redefined injury, and recognized nature’s inherent right to exist and flourish. …

Everything The Light Touches Is Not Your Kingdom: Understanding The Statutory Silence In The Antiquities Act To Restrict Presidential Power, Lillian A. Bourne

Natural Resources Journal

There is no greater threat to our public lands than energy dominance. The 1906 Antiquities Act gave presidents the power to proclaim national monuments on public lands, and today the federal government protects over 11 million acres as national monuments. President Trump plans to revoke and shrink monument protections so that these lands can be used for oil, gas, and mineral drilling, destroying cultural artifacts with detrimental impacts to air, water, and land. The Antiquities Act does not give the president the power to revoke or shrink national monuments designated by prior presidents; the Act reserves this power solely to …

Sounding The Alarm: The Role Of States In Monitoring The Federal Government, Christian G. Fritz

Faculty Scholarship

In December 2025, more than 40 bipartisan state legislative leaders from over 30 states, working through the National Conference of State Legislatures, issued a resolution titled “Federalism Restoration and State Empowerment.” The distinctive feature of American federalism has long been understood to be the distribution of powers between the national and state governments. This foundational element of our system of government—shared sovereignty—warrants revisiting by K-12 teachers and students. Although states may attempt to limit national power in ways such as withholding cooperation, exerting political pressure, and challenging federal authority through legal and institutional channels, this Digest focuses on the role …
