About the Committee

The Special Committee on Environmental Justice works to achieve the goal of environmental justice through advocacy and education, and by linking resources to needs. The Committee is also committed to achieving greater diversity within the practice of environmental law and the Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources.

Environmental Justice For All: A Fifty-State Survey Of Legislation, Policies, and Initiatives (2004)
This report identifies the statutes, policies, initiatives, or other commitments that states have undertaken to give force of law and/or tangible meaning to the goal of environmental justice. Importantly, the report finds that from the first policy issued in 1993 to the present more than 30 states have expressly addressed environmental justice, demonstrating increased attention to the issue at a political level. The wide-range and variety of policy strategies and approaches used by states, however, suggests that the issue will continue to mature over the coming years.
