Stanford Environmental Law Journal

Last updated

Overview

The journal was established in 1978 as the Stanford Environmental Law Annual to "provide a forum for student papers in developing areas of environmental law." [2] After a three-year hiatus between 1983 and 1986, the journal resumed publication as the Stanford Environmental Law Journal. [3] In the 2016 Washington and Lee University Law Journal Rankings, the journal was the second-highest rated environmental, natural resources, and land use law journal by impact factor. [4] Articles in the journal have been cited by many state supreme courts [5] and United States Courts of Appeals. [6] Articles also appear in treatises written by American Law Reports [7] and Westlaw. [8]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted or indexed in EBSCO databases, HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, [9] and the University of Washington's Current Index to Legal Periodicals. [10] Tables of contents are also available through Infotrieve and Ingenta, [9] and the journal posts some past issues on its website. [11]

In law, a citation or introductory signal is a set of phrases or words used to clarify the authority of a legal citation as it relates to a proposition. It is used in citations to present authorities and indicate how those authorities relate to propositions in statements. Legal writers use citation signals to tell readers how the citations support their propositions, organizing citations in a hierarchy of importance so the reader can quickly determine the relative weight of a citation. Citation signals help a reader to discern meaning or usefulness of a reference when the reference itself provides inadequate information.

Student rights are those rights, such as civil, constitutional, contractual and consumer rights, which regulate student rights and freedoms and allow students to make use of their educational investment. These include such things as the right to free speech and association, to due process, equality, autonomy, safety and privacy, and accountability in contracts and advertising, which regulate the treatment of students by teachers and administrators. There is very little scholarship about student rights throughout the world. In general most countries have some kind of student rights enshrined in their laws and proceduralized by their court precedents. Some countries, like Romania, in the European Union, have comprehensive student bills of rights, which outline both rights and how they are to be proceduralized. Most countries, however, like the United States and Canada, do not have a cohesive bill of rights and students must use the courts to determine how rights precedents in one area apply in their own jurisdictions.

<i>United States v. Weitzenhoff</i>

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.
