Over two decades ago, Professor Christopher Stone asked what turned out to be a question of enduring interest: should trees have standing? His question was recently answered in the affirmative by a creek in Pennsylvania, which successfully intervened in a lawsuit between an energy company and a local township to prevent the lifting of a ban against drilling oil and gas wastewater wells. Using that intervention, this Article examines whether such an initiative might succeed on a broader scale. The Article parses the structure, language, and punctuation of Article III, as well as various theories of nonhuman personhood to see …

The Promise Of The Rule Of (Environmental) Law: A Reply To Pardy’S Unbearable Licence, Jocelyn Stacey
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This short reply clarifies and defends the argument presented in “The Environmental Emergency and the Legality of Discretion in Environmental Law.” It responds to the arguments that were made, and that could have been made, in Pardy’s critique “An Unbearable Licence.” The reply further develops the public-justification conception of the rule of law, arguing that it is at home within Canadian public law. It also argues that this conception of the rule of law highlights possibilities for future research directions in Canadian environmental law.

Same-Sex Families And Adoption Discrimination Post Marriage Equality, Joel Viramontes-Gallegos
Public Interest Law Reporter
With the major judicial holding of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court of the United States legally recognized same sex-marriage. Advocates of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community celebrated in the granting of what many deemed a fundamental right. Now, with the ability to freely marry, same-sex couples are looking to grow their family through adoption, with some adoption agencies seeing a slight increase in upwards of 700 applicants a month. This article will address the legal challenges, and proposed solutions, to expanding American same-sex couples' legal rights to adopt children outside of the United States.

Solitary Confinement Banned In Federal Juvenile System, Bethany Dixon
Public Interest Law Reporter
In January, President Obama banned solitary confinement - the confinement of a prisoner in a cell for virtually the entire day without environmental stimulation and limited opportunity for social interaction - for juveniles in the federal prison system. In his announcement, he stated that solitary confinement has been overused and has the potential to cause tremendous psychological consequences. His decision came after a review by the Justice Department. The report stated that the practice of solitary confinement reduces the chances that a prisoner can be eventually rehabilitated to society. This article will examine the anticipated impact of the President's executive …
