    This collection invites environmental law scholars to reflect on what it means to be an environmental law scholar and to consider how and why environmental law scholars engage in environmental law scholarship. Leading environmental law scholars from different backgrounds and jurisdictions offer their personal reflections on the nature, form, quality and challenges of environmental law scholarship. The collection offers the first honest introspection on what environmental law scholarship is and is not. It considers the unique contributions of environmental law scholarship to legal scholarship more generally, reflecting on what sets environmental law scholarship apart from other disciplines of legal scholarship and the challenges arising from these differences.

    • Leading environmental law scholars from different jurisdictions offer their personal reflections on environmental law
    • Examines complicated issues such as methodology, quality of scholarship, and the challenges of environmental law scholarship
    • Explores the nature and purpose of environmental law from the perspective of leading contributors from a variety of jurisdictions
