Global Climate Change and U.S. Law
Global climate change poses an enormous threat to our environment,
creating an urgent need for nations around the world to discuss how
to effectively implement more climate-friendly policies. The law will
play an important part in developing mechanisms to protect the climate,
such as con-serving energy, using renewable sources of energy, and
implementing emission caps and trading programs. Global Climate Change
and U.S. Law provides comprehensive coverage of the country’s
law as it relates to global climate change. It outlines the national
and international legal framework of climate change regulation and
litigation, describes emerging regional, state and local actions,
including a 50-state survey, and much more.

Biotechnology and the Law
This book is written to help lawyers identify legal issues and processes
that must be faced by their clients in building, marketing, and protecting
a biotech business. The contributors are ex-perts in this specialized
area and provide thorough, yet accessible, overviews of biotech subspe-cialties
with an eye to practical application. A biotech legal practice involves
specialized subject matter and regulatory schemes that, generally,
are not part of the business lawyer’s repertoire, which can
present hazards for the uninitiated. Because of the expansion in biotech
practice be-yond the traditional organizations and their representatives,
this guide was written to help lawyers find their way through the
biotech maze.
