Pursuing Environmental Justice Through The Courts: An Overview Of The Process And Why It Has Failed, Julie Lynne Hershenberg Oct 2001

Pursuing Environmental Justice Through The Courts: An Overview Of The Process And Why It Has Failed, Julie Lynne Hershenberg

IPED Technical Reports

This project brought together two issues that dominate policy debates in the southwestern U.S. and especially along the United States – Mexico Border; namely, environmental justice, and legal liabilities associated with adverse environmental actions. Both are major implementation problems. In the southwest the issue becomes more problematic as the two-nations meet face-to-face, and the maquiladora industry continues to expand, creating new burdens on an already stressed environment as a result of industrial practices that have not always meet U.S. environmental standards.

Scientific Models Of Human Health Risk Analysis In Legal And Policy Decisions, Douglas Crawford-Brown Oct 2001

Scientific Models Of Human Health Risk Analysis In Legal And Policy Decisions, Douglas Crawford-Brown

Law and Contemporary Problems

The quality of scientific predictions of risk in the courtroom and policy arena rests in large measure on how the two differences between normal practice and the legal/policy practice of science are reconciled. This article considers a variety of issues that arise in reconciling these differences, and the problems that remain with scientific estimates of risk when these are used in decisions.

Legal Trade In African Elephant Ivory: Buy Ivory To Save The Elephant?, Sam B. Edwards Iii Jan 2001

Legal Trade In African Elephant Ivory: Buy Ivory To Save The Elephant?, Sam B. Edwards Iii

Animal Law Review

Trade in endangered species is a complicated issue. The trade in ivory creates tensions between western conservation-driven beliefs and developing countries' reliance on wildlife as a resource. This article examines the recent decision under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to conduct a one-time sale of ivory from Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana to Japan. Since trade in endangered species involves many different disciplines, this paper touches on biology, international law, economics, and public policy. In theory, limited trade in African elephant ivory is possible and even advantageous for the various actors. However, in practice, the management controls …

Sovereignty Myths And Intergovernmental Realities: The Etiquette Of Tribal Federalism, Alfred R. Light Jan 2001

Sovereignty Myths And Intergovernmental Realities: The Etiquette Of Tribal Federalism, Alfred R. Light

St. Thomas Law Review

Here I wish to make two points. First, as a political scientist speaking to lawyers, I contend that sovereignty and dual sovereignty themselves are largely myths. The reality is a much more complicated and pragmatic intergovernmental relations. Second, as a teacher of constitutional law, speaking to other lawyers, I perceive developments regarding tribal sovereignty to have a haunting familiarity. The United States Supreme Court elaborates a doctrine of "inherent tribal sovereignty" using language strikingly similar to that used in the past to describe "dual sovereignty." American Indian scholars may benefit from a contrast of "dual sovereignty" and "inherent tribal sovereignty."

Protecting Property Rights In America, Alfred M. Olivetti Aug 1999

Protecting Property Rights In America, Alfred M. Olivetti

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

To date, no federal takings legislation has been passed to protect individuals from government regulations that 'take' one's property without providing just compensation. However, since 1991, twenty states have passed some type of takings legislation. This study examines the following questions: What has been happening in Congress concerning the property rights issue and why has it failed to pass substantive federal takings legislation? Why did the proponents of takings legislation seek to move the issue to a larger venue beyond Congressional committees? And, what tactics did the proponents of takings legislation use to capture the political agenda regarding this issue …

Equity As A Paradigm For Sustainability: Evolving The Process Toward Interspecies Equity, Gwendellyn Io Earnshaw Jan 1999

Equity As A Paradigm For Sustainability: Evolving The Process Toward Interspecies Equity, Gwendellyn Io Earnshaw

Animal Law Review

The concept of sustainability has evolved through a wide variety of definitions. Traditionally, sustainability was seen as a system of management which would allow humans to perpetually exploit the world's natural resources; that is, to manage resources so they would never be depleted. More recently, however, writers have argued the traditional concept of sustainability has failed because a truly sustainable system recognizes all resources and stakeholders for their inherent value. Equity is thus the essential ethic of a sustainable system. This article adopts this modern view of sustainability and identifies interspecies equity-the consideration of nonhuman animals based upon their inherent …

Siting, Justice, And The Environmental Laws, Rodger C. Field Jul 1996

Siting, Justice, And The Environmental Laws, Rodger C. Field

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Environmental justice is gaining momentum throughout the country. As a result, industrial development can no longer be determined solely by the dictates of one agency or entity. Environmental justice requires efforts of all to participate in the decision-making process to determine how industry will develop in the future. This article traces the history and themes of the environmental justice movement and examines that movement's impact on industrial development. Specifically, the article focuses on how the environmental justice movement affects future source-siting decisions and its ramifications on the various levels of government and on the industrial development. The article concludes by …

Title Vi As A Means Of Achieving Environmental Justice, Natalie M. Hammer

Northern Illinois University Law Review

The Comment begins by describing the various studies that document the correlation between race and siting decisions, and the Comment concludes that race is a primary factor in environmental siting decisions. After analyzing the various attempts by minority plaintiffs to address this inequity, the author concludes that Title VI may be the best option for minority plaintiffs to achieve environmental justice.
