Description:Over its 40-year existence, the New South Wales Land and Environment Court has become world-famous for its multi-faceted contributions to environmental law. And yet much of what the Court does remains underexamined. This edited collection is the first international collection on the Court. It brings together leading lawyers and academics to examine and evaluate the work of the Court from different scholarly perspectives. It explores the functions, doctrines and processes of the Court and its contributions to both Australian environmental law and environmental law worldwide. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Court as well as the nature and possibilities of environmental courts more generally.
