Legal Planet Named a Top Environmental Blog

LexisNexis has named Legal Planet, maintained jointly by Berkeley Law and UCLA School of Law faculty, as one of the top 50 environmental law and climate change community blogs for 2011. Legal Planet was one of just six blogs in the Academic/Educational category. LexisNexis describes it as “a collaboration of academic giants” that uses the schools’ legal scholars and think tanks to provide insight on energy and environmental law and policy. The blog analyzes Supreme Court decisions, regulatory actions, and legislation that impacts water resource management, toxic waste disposal, renewable energy, air quality, land use, and other issues.
