Preferred term

sociology of environmental law  

Definition

  • The tension between “law on the books” and “law in action”—a central preoccupation of sociolegal studies—has also been the central focus of sociolegal analysis of environmental law. In the late nineteenth century, some industrializing nations enacted laws aimed at reducing smoke and soot from coal-burning furnaces.
