Tropical Forest Conservation Legislation And Policy: A Global Perspective, Robert M. Hardaway, Karen D. Dacres, Judy Swearingen Dec 1994

Tropical Forest Conservation Legislation And Policy: A Global Perspective, Robert M. Hardaway, Karen D. Dacres, Judy Swearingen

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article reviews tropical rainforest legislation and policy of countries around the world. It documents the alarming erosion of rainforest resources and preserves, and evaluates the effectiveness of law and policies promulgated to arrest that erosion. The problems associated with rainforest depletion are treated in the context of the world's exploding population, as well as the economic needs of the developing countries. The need for population control policies, and family planning, are considered along with effective controls and regulation of rainforest exploitation.


The Case Against Intermediate Owner Liability Under Cercla For Passive Migration Of Hazardous Waste, Robert L. Bronston Dec 1994

The Case Against Intermediate Owner Liability Under Cercla For Passive Migration Of Hazardous Waste, Robert L. Bronston

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that Congress intended disposal to have an active meaning and therefore that courts should not hold prior intermediate owners liable for the passive migration of hazardous waste under section 107(a)(2). Part I examines CERCLA's definition of disposal. This Part concludes that the language of the definition, though somewhat ambiguous, supports the active defuiition. Part II considers the history of both CERCLA and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which CERCLA amended, in order to determine whether Congress intended to require affirmative conduct on the part of intermediate owners as a prerequisite to liability. Part II …


Environmental Performance Review: Self-Regulation In Environmental Law, Eric Bregman, Arthur Jacobson Dec 1994

Environmental Performance Review: Self-Regulation In Environmental Law, Eric Bregman, Arthur Jacobson

Cardozo Law Review

Americans have explored self-regulation as a strategy for the legal treatment of environmental issues only slowly and reluctantly. This is surprising. The intellectual roots of environmentalism, after all, are in ecology, the science of self-regulating, autonomous systems. With the notable exception of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), the image of the human actor in environmental regulation has been that of a threat to, rather than a participant in, the ecological systems which regulation is designed to protect by controlling human interventions. The role of regulation, from this perspective, is to stop avoidable interventions and to control the …


Insuring Domestic Tranquility Through Quieter Products: A Proposed Product-Nuisance Tort, Jason A. Lief Dec 1994

Insuring Domestic Tranquility Through Quieter Products: A Proposed Product-Nuisance Tort, Jason A. Lief

Cardozo Law Review

Is there a place upon this globe where one may escape the drone of our industrial beehive and bask in calm tranquility? Thoreau observed that the "mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Paradoxically, the source of that quiet desperation often is uncontrollable environmental noise. Even within the ,home, the one supposed sanctuary from the world's evils, unwanted noise invades lives and disrupts serenity. Although noise is not a new problem for mankind, its magnitude has changed over time. Today's "speaking trumpets" do indeed "have a power unknown to a simpler age." Amplified sound can be a weapon, as …

Nafta & The Environmental Side Agreement: Fusing Economic Development With Ecological Responsibility, Reid A. Middleton Nov 1994

Nafta & The Environmental Side Agreement: Fusing Economic Development With Ecological Responsibility, Reid A. Middleton

San Diego Law Review

This Comment presents a substantive analysis of the North American Free Trade Agreement and its Environmental Side Agreement. It addresses the environmental questions surrounding the agreement and recognized the agreement's capacity to provide both economic and ecological enrichment in the U.S.- Mexican environment. The Comment analyzes the environmental criticisms of NAFTA, and illustrates why these criticisms are inaccurate. Through examination of the enforcement mechanisms of the Environmental Side Agreement, this Comment illustrates how Mexico's capacity and desire to fulfill its own environmental obligations, coupled with the necessary financing, will allow Mexico to independently put an end to decades of ecological …


"Not In My State's Indian Reservation"-- A Legislative Fix To Close An Environmental Law Loophole, Roger R. Martella, Jr. Nov 1994

"Not In My State's Indian Reservation"-- A Legislative Fix To Close An Environmental Law Loophole, Roger R. Martella, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

For hundreds of years, this continent's Indians shared a spiritual belief that they must respect and protect their Mother Earth above all else. Today, however, many tribes no longer view the environment as a bank of natural resources that they must shield and shelter at any cost. Instead, the economic pressures of the twentieth century-particularly underdevelopment, unemployment, and poverty -are forcing a growing number of Indian tribes to exchange the spiritual view of their once pristine environment for a commercial one. This shift from nurturing nature to exploiting the environment on a growing number of reservations results largely from a …

Fourth Circuit Summary, Editors Of The William & Mary Environmental Law And Policy Review Oct 1994

Fourth Circuit Summary, Editors Of The William & Mary Environmental Law And Policy Review

William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review

The Fourth Circuit Summary, begun last year, provides a summary of prevailing environmental decisions decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit since the last issue of the William and Mary Journal of Environmental Law. It does not cover every environmental decision of the Fourth Circuit during that time period, but only those cases which the editors believe to be of the most interest to our subscribers. The Fourth Circuit Summary will appear twice each year in the William and Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review for the most timely reporting.
