N1  - This report presents 13 vignettes of how the National Environmental Policy Act helped improve government decisionmaking through public comment and vetting ideas with other agencies. This is a joint project of the Environmental Law Institute along with the Grand Canyon Trust and the Partnership Project. As the foreword by Russell Train notes, the real genius behind NEPA is in requiring government to listen to the public and seek comment before acting.

These quiet NEPA success stories look not to celebrated environmental litigation collected elsewhere, but more fundamentally examine how public involvement and careful consideration of alternatives has produced better outcomes; Disponible solo en los productos indicados; vLex Global; vLex Global (Academic Edition, excluding Law Schools); vLex Global (Academic Edition, Law Schools)
