The American Association of Law Libraries Online Bibliographic Services has chosen three websites as legal websites of the month.
1)The Environmental law net
Created as a client service tool in 1998 by environmental and energy lawyer David Blackmar, Environmental Law Net is a leading resource for environmental law research and news. This site is currently under reconstruction, but currently visitors may access information via the two main content divisions: legal information libraries and community resources. There are six legal information libraries which are broken into document libraries and task-specific libraries. The document libraries cover laws and regulations, court and agency decisions, and other agency documents. The task-specific libraries cover compliance, enforcement and litigation, and real estate and corporate transactions. The community resources area provides a daily newsfeed, reference tools, a moderated interview and seminar forum, editorial articles, and other useful features.
2) Environmental Council of the States
Based in Washington, D.C., Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) is a nonprofit association of state and territorial environmental commissioners. The website highlights the work of ECOS, including the states involved, projects, research, and the policies of ECOS.
3) EU environmental policy handbook
A critical analysis of EU environmental legislation: making it accessible to environmentalists and decision makers. This 2005 book was edited by Stefan Scheuer. It describes the history and current status of EU environmental law, and also looks to the future by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the actions taken so far.
