Modern Environmental Law: Policy and Practice

This book assumes that most students are unlikely to become environmental lawyers but will nevertheless need to understand how environmental law impacts business operations, real estate transactions, and litigation matters. The text is designed to let students learn the basic vocabulary of environmental law and to identify which environmental issues could result in civil or criminal liability. Designed with features to make environmental law easier to teach and to understand, including environmental law statutes; detailed glossary of terms and acronyms; and discussion problems that highlight practical and philosophical issues.
