Description

Environmental Justice: Legal Theory and Practice 5th Edition Barry E. Hill ISBN 9781585762415

Race and socioeconomic status should not determine the environmental health risks people endure—yet, in practice, they too often do. The environmental justice movement seeks to prevent, reduce, and remedy disproportionately severe environmental harms borne by minority and low-income communities, while ensuring that affected communities play a meaningful role in environmental decision-making.

Environmental Justice: Legal Theory and Practice offers a rigorous and engaging examination of this evolving field, integrating environmental law with civil rights theory and practice. Now in its fifth edition, the book incorporates all major cases, legal developments, and policy shifts since the prior edition. Readers gain a nuanced understanding of the legal, social, and institutional forces shaping environmental justice, as well as practical insight into how these issues can be addressed through informed leadership in communities, government agencies, bar associations, law practices and legal services organizations, law school clinics and academic settings, and the corporate sector.
