This text teaches students to think about environmental law in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Relying on graphics and flow charts as well as cases and administrative materials, Environmental Law in Context provides a step-by-step introduction to six of the most important federal environmental statutes -- the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Clean Water Act ? plus an introduction to environmental citizen suits. At the same time, by discussing related issues throughout the text (not just in specialized units or chapters), Environmental Law in Context immerses students in the larger context of environmental law. In so doing, it considers the connections and interplay between the federal environmental statutes and politics, science, economics, and other areas of law, (including common law, statutory interpretation, administrative law, criminal law, constitutional law, federal Indian law, international law, and environmental justice). In addition to being suitable for an environmental law class, this new book is also focused enough to serve as the basis for a 1-L course on statutory interpretation.Robin K. Craig is the author of 'Environmental Law in Context: Cases, Materials and Statutes (American Casebook Series)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780314151636 and ISBN 031415163X.
