Synthesizing Energy Transitions, Danielle Stokes, Nadia Ahmad, Uma Outka, Hannah Wiseman

Law Faculty Publications

This Article assesses the growing and cross-disciplinary literature on energy transitions to explore how it can guide law and policy reforms for the energy sector. The modern conception of energy transition centers primarily on clean energy—a shift away from fossil energy dependence. It also, however, incorporates equity as a core principle, as an increasing emphasis on energy justice and just transition seeks to create guiding norms for the energy sector’s current state of change. The concept of energy transition is critical for describing and giving meaning to a fundamental societal shift at the local, regional, national, and global scales, aligned …

Briggs V. Southwestern Energy Production: Hydraulic Fracturing And Subsurface Trespass, Thomas W. Merrill, Henry E. Smith

Faculty Scholarship

The tort of trespass to land has proven to be controversial as applied to airplane overflights (and more recently to drones) as well as to oil and gas production using hydraulic fracking technology. The key to applying trespass to intrusions above and below the surface of land is to distinguish between possession of land and the right to possess land. Surface owners have the right to possess the column of space above and below the surface (a kind of option value), but only to the extent that this space is subject to possible effective possession.

Introduction To The Symposium On Networks, Platforms, And Utilities: Law And Policy, Morgan Ricks, Ganesh Sitaraman, Shelley Welton, Lev Menand

Faculty Scholarship

We are grateful to the Yale Journal on Regulation for hosting this symposium on our new law school casebook, Networks, Platforms, and Utilities: Law and Policy, and to the fantastic lineup of scholars who will be contributing to the symposium over the next couple of weeks.

In this brief symposium introduction, we seek to answer five questions about the book. What is it about? Why did we write it? How does its subject matter relate to other areas of legal study? Why is the time ripe for it? And, how does it differ from previous “regulated industries” textbooks?

Concluding Thoughts, Morgan Ricks, Ganesh Sitaraman, Shelley Welton, Lev Menand

Faculty Scholarship
