The passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969signaled a new era for American law, when both proponents and opponents of strictsafeguards on the environment looked more and more to the courts to settle theirdisputes. Lettie M. Wenner examines the role of the federal judiciary inimplementing environmental laws in the ten years after the passage of the NEPA. Hermajor focus is on the overall policy patterns that emerged from court decisions onenvironmental issues during this period, demonstrating the function of the courts asa public policy maker. The author concludes that, in general, the federal courtshave proven to be more environmentally oriented when they have faced specificenforcement demands in the context of pollution control laws than when they havebeen asked to make broad policy decisions based on discretionary laws.
