View updates to Environmental Law Practice.

Like the first edition, this book is a valuable resource for imparting practical skills. Authors Anderson and Hirsch have drawn on their wide experience as environmental law professors and practitioners to develop realistic exercises that teach the craft of environmental lawyering. Readers will learn how to bring a federal enforcement action against a polluter; negotiate a Superfund settlement; prepare documents and strategy for a citizen's suit; counsel a corporation on environmental compliance; and comment on an EPA rule making, as well as many other relevant skills.

Updated and expanded, Environmental Law Practice is comprehensive in scope. It contains problems and exercises under each of the major environmental statutes. In addition, it places readers in the three key roles played by environmental lawyers—government attorney, corporate counsel, and public interest advocate—and provides practice pointers for each of these types of work. The book makes extensive use of original documents such as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), regulatory preambles, and agency guidance, exposing students to the materials that environmental lawyers use most.

This book covers all the significant areas of environmental practice: compliance, enforcement, litigation, and policy. It gives in-depth treatment of substantive environmental law areas such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, CERCLA, RCRA, EPCRA, and citizen suits. Of the many books on environmental law, Environmental Law Practice is one of few to focus on environmental practice, as opposed to the pure substantive issues.

A teacher's manual is available.
