For more than 30 years, the Environmental
Law Reporter (ELR) has been an important resource for environmental,
health and safety, toxic tort, natural resource, and land use professionals.
The Environmental Law Reporter is ideal for federal and state government
attorneys and managers, the public interest community, private sector
manufacturing, land and real estate companies, federal and state courts,
educators, and others. The full Environmental Law Reporter online subscription
includes the following items listed below:
- News & Analysis
- This monthly journal tracks and summarizes all major environmental,
toxic tort, natural resource and land use law developments, including
legislative and administrative action, judicial decisions, and news.
Monthly, in-depth articles cover a wide spectrum of issues. Additionally,
a monthly "Journal Literature" section provides an instant "must
read" list of relevant articles. This journal is available in print
and online.
- State
News & Analysis
- This service provides information on state level litigation, statutory,
and administrative developments in environmental, natural resources,
land use, and toxic tort law. ELR editors and contributors from law firms,
public interest groups, and corporations "go beyond the news" to
provide analyses through timely, easy-to-use articles. Updated summaries
of agency developments and numerous links to agency, legislative, and
other sources are also provided.
-
International
News & Analysis
- This service consists of contributions from dozens of writers throughout
the world, covering topics such as trade and the environment, standard
setting, sustainable development, biodiversity, climate change, and the
law of other nations (developing and developed). The most comprehensive
list of links on international environmental law is also provided.
-
Health
and Safety News & Analysis
- This ELR feature examines issues pertaining to occupational safety,
risk regulation and cost-benefit analysis, ISO 14001 implementation,
corporate ESH programs, reporting, ergonomics, and related issues. Comprehensive
listings of articles and links to governmental (federal, state, and international)
and nongovernmental web sites are included.
-
Litigation
- Updated continuously, ELR's Litigation service provides the text of
environmental, toxic tort, natural resource, and land use cases. Each
case published in ELR is prefaced by an accurate, unbiased, and concise
case summary, written by ELR's staff of environmental lawyers. With well
over 10,000 cases reported since its first edition in 1971, the Litigation
service provides a complete source of environmental, natural resource,
toxic tort, land use, and health and safety judicial decisions.
-
Indexes,
Tables & Bibliographies
- Immediate access to a wealth of ELR information is available to subscribers
through the Indexes, Tables & Bibliographies service. The Cumulative
Table of Cases provides you with not only ELR citations and procedure
histories but, where applicable, citations to other reporting services.
The Subject Matter Index breaks down the entire body of ELR information
into precise subject categories, designed to lead you quickly to relevant
cases and articles with links. The Annual and Cumulative Bibliographies
identify pertinent journal articles, making additional research easier
and more productive. The ELR Cite Conversion Table allows researchers
to locate the name of a case published in ELR based on the ELR cite.
-
Briefs & Pleadings
- ELR's unique Briefs and Pleadings service allows users to focus their
legal research quickly by reviewing how colleagues, the government, or
opposing counsel have argued similar cases. This time-saving database
contains concise digests, written by ELR's staff of experienced lawyers,
of a variety of complaints, motions, appellate briefs, memoranda, and
other pleadings filed in federal and state courts and agencies. More
recent documents are available in full text or are available by links.
Covered pleadings range from the earliest significant environmental cases
to those that are pending today. In many cases, users can obtain full-text
copies of relevant briefs from the ELR Document Service.
-
Federal
Statutes & Treaties
- This component provides the full text of 18 federal environmental statutes.
Each statute has its own detailed table of contents, quickly guiding
users to the section they need. The Statutory Outline section summarizes
a total of 48 major federal statutes, highlighting key provisions and
providing cross references to the U.S. Code. Updated as needed, the Federal
Laws & Regulations section also provides researchers with major
treaties, conventions, and international agreements. Complete research
tools for using federal regulations, as well as state laws and regulations,
are also provided.
