The scope of what qualifies as environmental litigation is huge, covering a complex array of federal and state statutes, hundreds of common-law rules, and thousands of pages of regulations. Furthermore, this area of litigation is growing at a tremendous pace as a result of evolving issues such as climate change litigation and as practitioners deal with the increasing number of environmental cases decided by the Supreme Court.This updated and fully revised second edition of Environmental Litigation: Law and Strategy provides experienced guidance on the most critical areas in this rapidly-changing area of the law. The book's focus is on how environmental issues are addressed and resolved through litigation. Including extensive citations to statutes and regulatory programs cited, the book is organized around environmental topics--civil enforcement, criminal enforcement, citizen suits, and so on--rather than specific statutes or regulations.
