ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY ANNUAL REVIEW

摘要

The Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review (ELPAR) is published by the Environmental Law Institute's (ELI's) Environmental Law Reporter (ELR) in partnership with Vanderbilt University Law School. For more than a decade, ELPAR has provided a forum for presentation and discussion of the best environmental law and policy-relevant ideas from the legal academic literature. Published as an annual special issue of ELR, ELPAR is designed to fill the same important niche by helping to bridge the gap between academic scholarship and environmental policymaking.ELI and Vanderbilt formed ELPAR to accomplish three principal goals. The first is to provide a vehicle for moving ideas from the academy to the policymaking realm. Academicians in the environmental law and policy arena generate hundreds of articles each year, many of which are written in a dense, footnote-heavy style that is inaccessible to policymakers with time constraints. ELPAR selects the leading ideas from this large pool of articles and makes them digestible by reprinting them in a short, readable form accompanied by expert, balanced commentary.
