‘As the former Chief of Environmental Enforcement, Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD), US Department of Justice, I have had the occasion to review a number of books about environmental compliance and enforcement. This book by Lee Paddock is the best, and reflects his considerable knowledge born of years of experience as a State Assistant Attorney General, and as a Professor and Dean at two leading law schools. His book covers all the basics, but adds new developments including citizen science and monitoring, private governance, and both civil and criminal enforcement.’
– John C. Cruden, former Assistant Attorney General, ENRD
‘Lee Paddock''s Advanced Introduction accomplishes a major feat: it brings together the full range of constantly evolving environmental enforcement challenges into a set of clear explanations and feasible recommendations. Its well-organized chapters untangle enforcement’s overlapping dimensions, from inspection and judicial procedures to private management and international supply lines, and examines each in a systematic, informed, and applicable way. This book is an essential foundation for anyone studying environmental law and an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field.’
