This is the eighth edition of this handbook, and a quick look through the material shows why.

There are many authors, so specialty areas are addressed by specialists. There are also extensive footnotes and citations, making this book very useful for the experienced practitioner as well as for someone new to New Jersey Environmental Law. A very nice feature of the book is the publisher’s decision to put chapter and section headings at the top of each page.
