Recenzii
"It is no secret that the Earth is under siege. Prof. Melanie Jean Murcott’s 'Transformative Environmental Constitutionalism' illuminates a path forward. It deciphers and distills in theory, practice, words, lyrics, and music how adjudication can transform and improve social justice and environmental outcomes. It concurrently highlights hope while sounding a clear-eyed call for action.” -James R. May, Esq.
