The Environmental Law Program faculty has some exciting scholarship updates. Professor Michael Pappas’s forthcoming works include "Climate Changes Property: Disasters, Decommodification, and Retreat," Ohio St. L. J. (forthcoming 2020) (with Victor B. Flatt) and "Prevention and Cure in the Structure of Law," Loy. L.A. L. Rev. (forthcoming 2020). "Climate Changes Property" applies a novel economic model for understanding and alleviating the economic and human costs of disasters, and "Prevention and Cure" investigates concepts of prevention and cure to provide a novel framework for assessing and enhancing the structure of law and policy, particularly as applied to climate change.
