ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

Environmental law generally covers any legal issue that involves the environment. This could include air, ground and water pollution. Environmental law also intersects with other fields such as farming & agriculture, animal husbandry, oil & gas, and mining. Usually, private litigation in this field results when one party believe that their environmental interests have been damaged or are threatened by another party. For example, if one party spills oil or releases poisonous gases onto another party’s property, this may result in environmental litigation.
