From ERyan at law.fsu.edu Mon Apr 19 10:23:34 2021 From: ERyan at law.fsu.edu (Erin Ryan) Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 14:23:34 +0000 Subject: [Law-envtlfsufaculty] FSU Program on Environmental, Energy, and Land Use Law Newsletter In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: [Florida State University] Program on Environmental, Energy & Land Use Law April 16, 2021 David L. Markell (1953-2021) [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20210416/96/83/60/12/c7d8a5da6295f2f383380484_656x600.png] It is with enormous sadness that I announce the loss of FSU Professor Emeritus David Markell, who passed away on March 22, 2021, surrounded by family, after a heroic battle with cancer. Markell retired from teaching in 2020 after 18 years at FSU. He served as the FSU College of Law Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (2007-2008), Associate Dean for Environmental Programs (2012-2015), and Associate Dean for Research (2016-2018). He was a recipient of the FSU University Graduate Teaching Award (2016-2017). Over the course of his career, Markell served as the David Sive Visiting Scholar at Columbia Law School, and as a visiting professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, Lewis and Clarke College of Law, Melbourne Law School (Australia), and IDC Herzliva Radzyner Law School (Israel). Markell published six books and more than 50 articles and book chapters on topics including climate change, compliance and enforcement, and North American environmental law and policy. One of his books was cited as ?the most outstanding work of legal scholarship in the field? of administrative law and earned the annual ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice Award for Scholarship. Since 2000, four of his articles have been selected by peers as among the best law review articles in the field of environmental law. Three other articles have been selected as finalists for this honor. Markell?s extensive government experience included service with the NAFTA Environmental Commission, the United States Department of Justice?s Environmental Enforcement Section, U.S. EPA Region 1, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (as acting Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Environmental Remediation and as Director of the Division of Environmental Enforcement). Markell also served as a member of the U.S. EPA National Advisory Committee, as an external advisor to the Government of Canada?s Office of the Auditor General, and as a mediator and expert witness. In remembering him, Dean Erin O?Connor of the FSU College of Law noted that ?Dave was beloved here for his kindness, his generosity, his hard work, and his impressive teaching, scholarly productivity, and service to the law school and broader community,? and that the faculty will miss him terribly. Indeed, I will personally remember Dave, always, as a remarkable friend, colleague, family member, and fellow citizen. He devoted himself professionally to the highest aspirations of the environmental field and succeeded in a career marked by both academic and real-world accomplishments. Yet despite these professional accomplishments, Dave was even more devoted to the people in his life?loving his family, nurturing his students, and bettering his community at every opportunity. All of us who knew him were quietly awestruck by his simple and straightforward goodness. I know that I join everyone in the wider FSU and environmental law community in feelings of profound loss and grief at his passing. -Erin Ryan, Associate Dean for Environmental Programs Faculty Scholarships [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20210416/ec/68/eb/c5/96f49c53d3c5ce33ebc49a3f_430x286.png] Shi-Ling Hsu, D?Alemberte Professor Capitalism and the Environment: A Proposal to Save the Planet (forthcoming, 2021, Cambridge Univ.

Foster is the Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Urban Law and Policy at Georgetown and holds a joint appointment with the Georgetown Law School and the McCourt school of Public Policy. Her areas of expertise include environmental law and justice, urban land use law and policy, and state and local government. Foster?s lecture, ?Mapping the New Urban Commons: Law and Resource Stewardship in the City,? proposed the question ?to whom does the city belong? and used anecdotes from urban Philadelphia, New York City, Detroit, and other cities to examine how we should think about ownership and control of land and physical resources that were once private, but end up back in the public domain. Foster redefine city as an ?urban commons? ? meaning that the city is a collaborative space in which urban inhabitants are central actors in managing and governing city life and urban resources ? and discussed community land trusts and the Co-Cities Project.

Student Spotlight [Mallory Umbehagen] ?My externship with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission this Spring 2021 was a wonderful experience that gave me much insight on environmental law and agency work. During my experience I had the privilege to attend hearings and mediations, participate in commission meeting, work on proposed legislation, and contribute to the agency?s goals and work. I learned about how FWC functions from the inside out. Overall, my externship was a wonderful experience where I learned many practical career skills and it made me consider agency work as an option for my career. I would recommend this externship to anyone who is interested in environmental law, state agencies, or wildlife law.? - Megan Clouden, FSU Law '22 The following students participated in environmental law externships this Spring: * Katherine Hupp ?

Named after the rare Florida tree Torreya taxifolia, the park is one of the original state parks developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. ELS chose to visit Torreya this year because of its ecological importance to the Apalachicola watershed. Home to over 100 species of birds and the rare plant species such as the Torreya tree and the ashe magnolia, the park plays a critical role in protecting the water quality of the Apalachicola river. Given the ongoing litigation in Florida v. Georgia, protecting the Apalachicola river and its water quality is of utmost importance for the panhandle oyster industry as well as for the overall wellbeing of our aquatic and estuary ecosystems. lthough the landscape has changed as a result of Hurricane Michael, the park is recovering and over 3,526 acres of land have been replanted with wiregrass and longleaf pine. With restoration scheduled to be completed by 2024, ELS plans to return to Torreya State Park and enjoy the many marvels of the largest sandhill restoration project in Florida Park Service history.
