Welcome! This is the home page for my Law and Environment class (Legal Studies\/Environmental Studies\/History 430). This page provides resources for doing research on topics in environmental law, with a focus on U.S. law. On the right sidebar there are links to resources specifically on U.S. environmental law, including: 1) environmental law and regulation by topic, from the lead federal agencies for each topic (the EPA, FWS, etc.), which identify and provide links to the relevant federal laws; 2) the EPA’s pages on civil and criminal cases; and 3) research guides. On the footer below there are links to a sample of U.S. government agencies and other national organizations (businesses and NGOs) that address environmental issues in one way or another.<\/p>\n
For your research papers, here are some tips about defining your topic<\/a>, and about using some of the\u00a0web resources<\/a> available on this and related pages.<\/p>\n For sources and guides to U.S. law in general (i.e., that are not focused just on environmental law), go to the page on American Law & Legal History<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here for Local, Wisconsin, and Midwestern Legal Sources and Guides<\/a> to environmental law topics.<\/p>\n Click here for International & Global Legal Sources and Guides<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here for a summary of the simplified guidelines to legal citations<\/a> recommended for use for the research paper for this class.<\/p>\n For additional resources, contacts, and related classes here at UW (though not all have a legal focus), see the following:<\/p>\n Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies<\/a>, and its four research centers on Climate Change (CCR), Culture and History (CHE), Land Tenure (LTC), and Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE). For a list of courses related to environmental law, see the ES Curriculum page<\/a>, under Theme Courses, then Policy.<\/p>\n Websites of UW scholars on environmental law, policy, and history include Prof. William Cronon’s website<\/a>, and his class on American Environmental History<\/a>; and, in the School of Forestry and Wildlife Ecology, Prof. Adena Rissman’s Rissman Research Group<\/a>. See also, especially for wetlands and water policy, Prof. Morgan Robertson in the Geography Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome!
