Tennessee Environmental Law Blog

William L. Penny Corinne E. Martin
Environmental law is very visible, extremely complicated and ever changing. Court decisions, the General Assembly and the environmental regulatory agencies— state and federal—provide new challenges regularly in keeping abreast of the latest developments. In addition to traditional environmental law components, our blog will include information and news on so-called Green building, LEED accreditation and sustainability in order to explore the transition as Green building develops into a way of life. As environmental law grows and changes, we hope interested persons will follow our blog for insight and information on these new and important issues.
