Overview

The journal was established in 1980 with the goal of confronting "those environmental problems which are currently before the public, and to provide a variety of opinions and suggested solutions to the problems."[2] Between 1980 and 1982, each issue of the journal would include a collection of articles focused on a single topic or theme.[3] Beginning with the third volume in the fall of 1982, the journal began including articles on a range of different topics in each individual issue.[3] The journal also collaborates with the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment to host environmental law symposia.[1]

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.[4] Articles in the journal have been cited by several state supreme courts as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.[5] Articles also appear in treatises written by American Law Reports[6] and American Jurisprudence.[7]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted or indexed in EBSCO databases, HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw,[8] and the University of Washington's Current Index to Legal Periodicals.[9] Tables of contents are also available through Infotrieve and Ingenta,[8] and the journal posts past issues on its website.[1]
