Podcasts/MP3 Downloads A free podcast download is available of the Careers in Environmental, Energy, and Resources Law teleconference which was held January 27, 2010. Interest in environmental, energy and resources law has increased dramatically over the past couple of years, due in part to an increasing focus on climate change and a general awareness of related issues. In this quick teleconference, four lawyers with varied backgrounds in the fields of environmental, energy and natural resources law provided practical guidance on various career options, advice for achieving certain career goals, and overviews of their day-to-day practices.

Endangered Species Act: Law, Policy, and Perspectives, Second Edition The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) provides a comprehensive approach to the complex problem of species extinction. Endangered Species Act: Law, Policy and Perspectives is an authoritative guide to the history of the ESA, the Act's most critical sections, the twists and turns of its implementation, and the cutting-edge issues facing the protection of endangered wildlife and its habitat. This updated edition serves as a guide for both the novice and the more experienced practitioner to the ins and outs of the ESA. |

Evolution of Natural Resources Law and Policy Globalization, corporate dominance, and shifts in resource management are nothing new: North America was "discovered" during an era of expanding global trade, and quasi-public actors such as the Massachusetts Bay Company and Hudson’s Bay Company, as well as private concerns such as the railroads, played huge roles over the centuries. The contributors to this book do more than take a look at the past, however: they chart the course of the future as well, considering such diverse topics as the ethics of natural resources policy (particularly on global warming and endangered species), mineral development of federal lands, the public law of private ecosystems, water management, and the law of forests and grasslands. |

Nanotechnology: Environmental Law, Policy, and Business Considerations The rapid commercialization of nanotechnology is one of the most intriguing industrial phenomena of the early twenty-first century. But just as the universe of applied nanotechnology is burgeoning, so are the questions raised about the possible impact of exposure to nanoscale materials on human health and the environment. The commercialization of nanotechnology poses major challenges for environmental regulators, from policy makers to scientists and engineers to lawyers. As this dynamic area continues to evolve, this book takes a comprehensive look at the regulatory, governance, and business issues of a technology that is as fascinating as it is challenging. |

Basic Practice Series: FERC, Second Edition Now completely revised and updated, this volume in the Basic Practice Series concentrates on practical, concise information for the environment law practitioner. Here the focus is on the policies, regulation, and procedures of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This regulatory agency is increasing in prominence, and more practitioners are finding themselves confronted with FERC matters in their practice. |
Environmental Litigation: Law and Strategy 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. At the same time, 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. Environmental Litigation: Law and Strategy provides expert, practical guidance on the most critical areas in this rapidly-changing area of the law. |
