David Schoenbrod, a pioneer in the field of environmental law, is currently examining how Congress could restructure environmental statutes so that their objectives could be achieved more effectively and efficiently. He teaches environmental law at New York Law School and has served as a senior staff attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, where he led the charge to get lead out of gasoline. Mr. Schoenbrod studies all major environmental areas, in particular air pollution and climate change. He also studies litigation in which court decrees dictate the management of governmental institutions, such as prisons, schools, and foster care agencies.

Articles and Commentary

Congress should apply to climate change the market-based solution that it successfully applied to acid rain nearly twenty years ago.

Overly broad consent decrees work an inappropriate shift from judicial protection of the plaintiffs in their status as right-holders to judicial protection of plaintiffs in a new status as beneficiaries of a contract.
