Environmental Law for Florida Bar Exam FAQ
What Environmental Law topics are covered?
Our flashcards cover CERCLA (Superfund) liability and defenses, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, RCRA (hazardous waste management), NEPA (environmental impact statements), endangered species protections, and state environmental laws.
How do flashcards help with Environmental Law?
Environmental Law involves multiple regulatory schemes, each with its own standards, permits, and enforcement mechanisms. Our flashcards organize each statute by its scope, prohibited conduct, enforcement tools, and available defenses.
Is CERCLA liability clearly explained?
Yes. We cover the four categories of potentially responsible parties, the strict joint and several liability standard, available defenses (innocent landowner, bona fide prospective purchaser), and contribution and indemnification rights.
