Irresolute Clay: Shaping the Foundations of Modern Environmental Law

by Richard MacRory and Professor Richard Macrory Hon KC

At a time of profound change and rethinking, this book provides insights into how environmental law in this country has developed into its current form, and considers future challenges it will face. Irresolute Clay is not a legal history or textbook, nor a conventional set of legal memoirs. Instead it offers a personal account of the inside stories as experienced by one of the key architects of contemporary environmental law. Taking a thematic approach, it charts fundamental tenets of the subject (such as environmental sanctions, the European dimension, developing the academic discipline of environmental law, and environmental courts and tribunals), from the beginnings of the modern environmental law era in the 1970s to the present day.
