Using recent US environmental-law cases, this work explores the often troubled relationship between the legal system and the environment, discussing topics such as population and biodiversity. With the help of explanatory introductions, study questions, and references to relevant literature, students are challenged to explore how the cases could have been decided and how they link up with broader issues. Coverage also extends beyond legal analysis to encourage reflection on ethical and scientific policy dilemmas.
