Jason Scott Johnston A POSITIVE POLITICAL ECONOMIC THEORY OF ENVIRONMENTAL FEDERALIZATION 64 Case Western Reserve Law Review 1549 (Summer, 2014) This Article sets out a positive theory that explains the late twentieth-century federalization of American environmental law. On this theory, federalization occurred not because states had failed to regulate to reduce air and water pollution, but because older and heavily developed states moving toward such regulation gained a relative competitive... 2014  
Craig Anthony (Tony) Arnold ADAPTIVE WATER LAW 62 University of Kansas Law Review 1043 (May, 2014) One of the most important questions concerning the governance of water resources in the U.S. is whether American water law regimes can become increasingly adaptive to changing conditions and sudden disturbances. Abundant evidence suggests that water law is non-adaptive or maladaptive. Many significant legal rules and processes governing water are... 2014

Environment Programme warns, countries that adopt a wait and see approach potentially risk the lives of their people, their ecosystems... 2014  
Oliver A. Houck COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM, NUTRIENTS, AND THE CLEAN WATER ACT: THREE CASES REVISITED 44 Environmental Law Reporter News & Analysis 10426 (May, 2014) Cooperative federalism varies widely from program to program, and depends on the relationship each statute prescribes. The Clean Water Act (CWA), while providing ample room for state participation, is heavily federal and leaves little about this relationship to chance. Nonetheless, the federal-state interplay goes on in as many venues as there are... 2014  
David Coventry Smith , Partner, Kilpatrick Townsend and Stockton LLP DEFENDING Indian LANDS AFTER CARCIERI 2014 Aspatore 2326354 (April, 2014) The majority of Americans live in the misguided belief that depriving Indians of the ownership, use, and benefit of their lands was merely an unfortunate episode in American history, an artifact of a racist past. However, the fact remains that the challenges facing Indian nations in maintaining the sovereign right to control their own lands is no... 2014

David E. Adelman ENVIRONMENTAL FEDERALISM WHEN NUMBERS MATTER MORE THAN SIZE 32 UCLA Journal of Environmental Law & Policy 238 (2014) Two elements of the Clean Air Act are viewed as essential to its many successes: the health-based national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), which restrict emissions of six widely released air pollutants, and the statute's hybrid form of cooperative federal-state regulation. This Article will show that these programs are far less important to... 2014  
Daniel L. Millimet ENVIRONMENTAL FEDERALISM: A SURVEY OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE 64 Case Western Reserve Law Review 1669 (Summer, 2014) Generally, the debate over environmental federalism strongly focuses on anecdotal evidence and intuition.

For example, the Tiebout model, which highlights the positive side of decentralization as jurisdictions efficiently compete for... 2014  
Todd S. Aagaard ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OUTSIDE THE CANON 89 Indiana Law Journal 1239 (Summer, 2014) It is time to rethink the domination of environmental law by a canon of major federal statutes enacted in the 1970s. Environmental law is in a malaise. Despite widespread agreement that existing laws are inadequate to address current environmental problems, Congress has not passed a major environmental statute in more than twenty years. If it is to... 2014

Ernest F. Lidge III THE NECESSITY OF EXPANDING PROTECTION FROM RETALIATION FOR EMPLOYEES WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT HARASSMENT 53 University of Louisville Law Review 39 (2014) Our nation's employment discrimination laws contain an inherent contradiction.

However, the anti-retaliation laws, as a practical matter, provide... 2014
