The Shape of the Practice Over the Next Five to Ten Years

摘要

Since the beginning of modern environmental law, statutes and rules have been hammered out with a vision for the future, but what is that vision?

In this Forum, we ask a panel of practitioners to look at the near-term horizon, earlier than the global issues that will dominate the far future as reflected in the earlier debate.
