Editorial Reviews: Product Description Environmental Law Stories tells the story of modern environmental law by focusing on ten of its most famous cases. Each chapter, written by a leading environmental law scholar, places the case in its broader historical context while simultaneously revealing fascinating facts concerning the people and events that prompted the litigation in the first instance, argued and decided the case in the courts, and influenced the ultimate outcome long after the judicial opinion was issued. The stories feature characters as diverse as community activists, small farmers, big businesses, dedicated scientists, skilled lawyers, strong-willed judges, and Presidents of the United States. Written for lawyers, law students, public policy professionals and laymen, each is a piece of a frame of law that is increasingly complex, and still in evolution.
