Accounting For Environmental Standards, Malori M. Mcgill
Washington Law Review Online
A meaningful percentage of the regulation that companies in the United States must follow concerns two distinct topics: accounting and the environment. The values underlying the regulatory framework of securities and the environment are distinct, but they are not wholly opposite. This Comment responds to growing trends of private governance in the area of environmental regulation. Besides federal regulation, a significant portion of environmental regulation touching U.S. companies today remains sourced from and enforced by private standard-setters. Federal accounting regulations are now governed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)––a private entity recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)––but …

Climate Change Disobedience, Charles R. Disalvo
Law Faculty Scholarship
Among those who recognize climate change as an existential threat, some are willing to take dramatic action against it by committing civil disobedience. Activists, such as those taking part in the Extinction Rebellion in the United Kingdom, are willing to exchange their liberty for some putative good. There is no discussion in the disobedience literature of the discrete purposes of climate disobedience or the principles by which climate activists ought to be guided in seeking to fulfill those purposes. This Article takes on that task. After offering an overview of the purposes of civil disobedience, this Article isolates those purposes …

The "Green New Deal": Constitutional Limitations; Rerouting Green Technology, Steven Ferrey
Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works
This article reaches beyond the pro/con policy debate now surrounding the Green New Deal, to address prospectively the fundamental legal issue of whether, and how, the Green New Deal will be viewed by the courts when it is enacted and challenged. President Biden has pledged to have 100% sustainable electric power in the U.S. by 2035. The Green New Deal, sponsored by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Edward Markey and co-sponsored or backed by a majority of the Democratic candidates for the 2020 presidency, combines “Green” elements with “New Deal” provisions.
Do two sweeping legal policies in the Green New …
