Jury Trials Under Environmental Statutes
Partner Doug Henderson and Associate Justin Wong’s article, Jury Trials Under Environmental Statutes, was published in the Summer 2017 edition of the ABA’s Natural Resources & Environment. In the article, Henderson and Wong analyze a wide-range of legal and practical litigation issues related to jury trials under the Clean Water Act, RCRA, and other environmental statutes. As they note, determining when a jury trial is available under environmental statutes triggers a range of challenging constitutional construction and statutory interpretation issues, often so blurred in practice that parties simply agree to a bench trial.
