Features: The 12 cases included in this book are classic environmental litigation cases made by the U.S. federal courts from the 1970s to the early 21st century, covering almost all fields of U.S. environmental law. This book is the first systematic work in China to introduce classic environmental law cases of the U.S. federal courts. To help readers understand these cases, the compiler provides a brief introduction to the relevant laws for each case at the beginning of each chapter. Additionally, the book includes background knowledge needed to read this book in the chapter. Another highlight of this book is that it not only details the court opinions of each case but also faithfully records the partial agreements or disagreements of some judges and the dissenting opinions of others. Such a judgment that documents various opinions and their exchanges clearly gets closer to the essence of legal analysis, closer to the verbal sparring in the courtroom, and more engaging for readers, making them feel as if they are on the scene of the trial while reading. This book is suitable for faculty and students of higher law schools, legal professionals, government officials, and individuals passionate about environmental public welfare. It can also be used for case teaching courses in higher law schools.
