New York University Environmental Law Journal

History

The journal was founded in 1991 by student members of the Environmental Law Society at the New York University School of Law and the first issue was published in 1992. [2] However, New York University School of Law Dean John Sexton noted that the roots of the journal could be traced back as far as 1986, when members of the Environmental Law Society began publishing the ELS Newsletter. [3] In the inaugural issue, the founding editors wrote that they hoped the journal would serve as "one vehicle in the broad quest to promote environmental protection." [4]

Overview

The New York University Environmental Law Journal is one of ten student-run journals published at the New York University School of Law. [1] The journal publishes scholarship relating to the "links between environmental and land use policy as well as administrative, corporate, constitutional, criminal, energy, insurance, international, property, tax, and tort law." [1] In addition to its usual selection of articles and notes, the journal has also published articles relating to environmental law symposia hosted by the journal and the New York University School of Law. [5]

Impact

In 2016, Washington and Lee University's Law Journal Rankings placed the journal among the top ten environmental, natural resources, and land use law journals with the highest impact factor. [6] Articles published in the journal have been cited by the First, [7] Third, [8] Ninth, [9] and District of Columbia Circuit Courts of Appeals. [10] State supreme courts have also cited articles from the journal. [11] Articles also appear in many legal treatises, including American Jurisprudence [12] and American Law Reports. [13]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted or indexed in EBSCO databases, HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, [14] and the University of Washington's Current Index to Legal Periodicals.

United States v. Weitzenhoff, 35 F.3d 1275 is a legal opinion from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that addresses the confusing mens rea requirement of a federal environmental law that imposed criminal sanctions on certain polluters. The main significance of the court's opinion was that it interpreted the word "knowingly" in the statute to mean a general awareness of the wrongfulness of one's actions or the likelihood of illegality, rather than an actual knowledge of the statute being violated. Circuit Court Judge Betty Binns Fletcher authored the majority's legal opinion in this case.
