Mark W. Wilson WHY PRIVATE REMEDIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TORTS UNDER THE ALIEN TORT STATUTE SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRAINED BY THE JUDICIALLY CREATED DOCTRINES OF JUS COGENS AND EXHAUSTION 39 Environmental Law 451 (Spring 2009) The spread of multinational corporations with subsidiaries conducting operations in far-flung locales with reduced or nonexistent legal protections has been a continuing global trend. These entities may be headquartered in countries with well-developed legal standards and environmental protections, but many of the jurisdictions where they conduct... 2009  
Daryl Fisher-Ogden WORLD RELIGIONS AND THE CLEAN AIR ACT 23 Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy 429 (2009) As climate change and greenhouse gases become frequent news topics, it is worth considering whether people and communities should comply with current clean air standards before enacting additional ones. A society ruled by law must rely on voluntary compliance with its laws by a majority of its citizens, rather than police enforcement of all law.... 2009

Robert L. Glicksman , Richard E. Levy A COLLECTIVE ACTION PERSPECTIVE ON CEILING PREEMPTION BY FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION: THE CASE OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE 102 Northwestern University Law Review 579 (Special Issue 2008) In this Article, we draw on collective action theory and traditional preemption doctrine to develop a framework for thinking about environmental preemption. We then apply it to regulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in response to global climate change. We begin with the fundamental premise that preemption doctrine can be understood as a means of... 2008

Henry N. Butler A DEFENSE OF COMMON LAW ENVIRONMENTALISM: THE DISCOVERY OF BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 58 Case Western Reserve Law Review 705 (Spring, 2008) A major problem with the current environmental regulatory regime is that it does not provide a reliable process for determining or discovering either the optimal amount of pollution or the most efficient means for achieving the selected level of pollution. This Article explains how the common law process, when coupled with competitive federalism,... 2008

It will go on for about forty-five minutes--no more, I promise. The experiment will end with a true, and I think, funny, story. Of course, there will be a moral.... 2008  
David E. Adelman , Kirsten H. Engel ADAPTIVE FEDERALISM: THE CASE AGAINST REALLOCATING ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY AUTHORITY 92 Minnesota Law Review 1796 (June, 2008) A hallmark of environmental federalism is that neither federal nor state governments limit themselves to what many legal scholars have deemed to be their appropriate domains. The federal government continues to regulate local issues, such as remediation of contaminated industrial sites, which have few direct interstate connections and few benefits... 2008

David Correia APPENDIX: LAND GRANT SPECULATION IN NEW MEXICO DURING THE TERRITORIAL PERIOD 48 Natural Resources Journal 927 (Fall, 2008) Much of the research on the adjudication problems that confronted Spanish and Mexican land grant heirs in New Mexico has focused on the conflicts between private and common property-tenure arrangements.

Rose Cuison Villazor BLOOD QUANTUM LAND LAWS AND THE RACE VERSUS POLITICAL IDENTITY DILEMMA 96 California Law Review 801 (June, 2008) Modern equal protection doctrine treats laws that make distinctions on the basis of indigeneity defined on blood quantum terms along a racial versus political paradigm. This dichotomy may be traced to Morton v. Mancari and, more recently, to Rice v. Cayetano. In Mancari, the Supreme Court held that laws that privilege members of American Indian... 2008  
Bradley C. Karkkainen BOTTLENECKS AND BASELINES: TACKLING INFORMATION DEFICITS IN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION 86 Texas Law Review 1409 (June, 2008) The first generation of statutory and regulatory environmental law in this country naively assumed that information would be abundant and cheap to acquire. Nowhere is this assumption clearer, perhaps, than in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the statute that signaled the onset of the environmental decade of the 1970s. NEPA famously... 2008  
Douglas A. Kysar BREAK THROUGH: FROM THE DEATH OF ENVIRONMENTALISM TO THE POLITICS OF POSSIBILITY. BY TED NORDHAUS & MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER. NEW YORK: HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO. 2007. PP. 344. $25.00. 121 Harvard Law Review 2041 (June, 2008) In the conventional telling, environmentalism's modern history begins at spring. It is silent. Or, at least, it would be silent, if only the destructive din of postwar industrialism would subside long enough to reveal the stillness of a vacant, dying natural landscape. A lone female voice manages to pierce through this din, seizing the American... 2008  
John C. Martin BRINGING DEAD CAPITAL TO LIFE: INTERNATIONAL MANDATES FOR LAND TITLING IN BRAZIL 31 Boston College International and Comparative Law Review 121 (Winter, 2008) Abstract: Economist Hernando de Soto urges land re-titling programs in developing countries so that squatting farmers and businesspeople may be integrated into a lawful economy. Re-titling programs, however, can go awry, fueling class and racial backlash, and undermining economic stability and trust in property titles. This Note explores the risks... 2008

Without the threat of all-out war, legislators and military officials could not justify the military's cost. In an effort to reduce spending and increase efficiency, Congress... 2008  
Raymond B. Ludwiszewski, Esq. , Charles H. Haake, Esq. CARS, CARBON, AND CLIMATE CHANGE 102 Northwestern University Law Review 665 (Special Issue 2008) Since the advent of major environmental regulatory programs in the 1970s, federal regulation has been justified on the grounds that the federal government must forestall a race to the bottom: the tendency of states to lower environmental standards in order to attract economic growth while passing off the costs of those lower environmental... 2008  
David B. Hunter CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORKS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS AT INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 8 Chicago Journal of International Law 437 (Winter 2008) The development of environmental standards at financial institutions is arguably among the most important international environmental law developments in the past two decades, yet these standards bear little resemblance to traditional visions of international law and may not even rightly be labeled international law at all. The standards are... 2008  
Dr. Ahmed Djoghlaf CLIMATE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY IN POLAR REGIONS 8 Sustainable Development Law & Policy 14 (Spring, 2008) Polar ecosystems are home to an array of plants and animals that survive in some of the most extreme conditions in the world. For example, the seas surrounding the Antarctic are rich in plankton, which support a rich marine food chain, while the Arctic itself supports many mammals and plays an important role in the annual cycle of migratory birds.... 2008  
Robin Kundis Craig CLIMATE CHANGE, REGULATORY FRAGMENTATION, AND WATER TRIAGE 79 University of Colorado Law Review 825 (Summer 2008) Viewed from a watershed perspective, we are unconsciously sacrificing many marine ecosystems because upstream fresh water is a regulatorily fragmented resource. That is, water is subject to multiple assertions of regulatory authority and to multiple types of use-right claims that those authorities regulate. As freshwater supplies become... 2008  
Michael P. Vandenbergh , Brooke A. Ackerly CLIMATE CHANGE: THE EQUITY PROBLEM 26 Virginia Environmental Law Journal 55 (2008) Income disparity in America affects the potential for environmental reform. When environmental standards are imposed on industry, the cost of consumer goods tends to rise, and low-income consumers can be priced out of important goods and services. This anticipated burden makes regulators less eager to impose standards that they know will raise... 2008  
Joseph W. Dellapenna CLIMATE DISRUPTION, THE WASHINGTON CONSENSUS, AND WATER LAW REFORM 81 Temple Law Review 383 (Summer 2008) The planet today is undergoing disruptive climate change.

For some years, farmers have experienced measurably longer growing seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. These changes--which now... 2008

Paul Boudreaux COVERT OPINION: REVEALING A NEW INTERPRETATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS 9 Vermont Journal of Environmental Law 239 (Winter, 2008) The standard history of the federal environmental statutes is that Congress fairly consistently chose the protection of water, wildlife, and human health over economic interests. But is the conventional wisdom correct? Are many of the interpretations in fact the result of agency and judicial creativity? Considering the current U.S. Supreme Court's... 2008
