Many legal writing texts emphasize how one writes; this book is
unique because it also focuses on why one writes. Every chapter
challenges the reader to write to achieve a strategic objective.
Each assignment has been carefully considered by the authors, and
fully vetted to simulate the decision-making involved in the
preparation of important legal writing, whether in a general
counsel's office, a law office, a government attorney's office, or
a judge's chambers. Simply put, the authors' approach is that
effective legal writing does not exist in a vacuum. This book
provides practical assignments that teach the student that the best
legal writing is not an end in itself, but a means to a larger
strategic objective.

While energy has been extracted from the ground for two centuries,
recent years have seen transformative changes to how easy it is to
access underground energy resources. This book investigates the key
challenges and legal consequences of recent developments in the use
of the subsurface as a source of energy. It provides a
comprehensive analysis of the new technologies that have made this
possible, such as the extraction of unconventional oil and gas
resources through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing,
also known as fracking. Further developments include the expanded
use of geothermal energy, which has the potential to beome a major
renewable energy source. The subsurface can also be utilised for
long-term disposal or storage of environmentally harmful
by-products of energy use, such as carbon capture and storage
(CCS), and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other nuclear waste.
Successful development of these technologies could enhance the use
of fossil and nuclear energy by reducing the harm caused by the
release of greenhouse gases and harmful radiation. The authors
bring together a wide variety of expertise and knowledge to examine
the legal implications of the development and control of these
underground activities. They provide an invaluable understanding of
the legal frameworks applicable to the extraction of underground
energy, both at the international level and in a number of
important national jurisdictions. Importantly, the book analyses
the different regulatory responses to these developments across
five continents, and assesses in detail the environmental impact of
new energy extraction technologies.
This volume examines energy security in a privatized, liberalized,
and increasingly global energy market, in which the concept of
sustainability has developed together with a higher awareness of
environmental issues, but where the potential for supply
disruptions, price fluctuation, and threats to infrastructure
safety must also be considered. Part I commences with an essential
introductory chapter which defines energy security and sets forth
the key issues and themes of the book. There then follow several
cross-cutting chapters which include sceptical analysis of energy
security claims from an environmental perspective and a broader
geopolitical analysis of energy security. Part II examines a wide
variety of international, regional, and national approaches to
energy security issues. Energy security concerns differ
considerably from country to country, however most of the chapters
examining particular nations provide an economic and historical
context of their energy security concerns, followed by a detailed
analysis of the legal provisions relating to each of the main
energy sectors (oil, gas, coal, electricity, nuclear, and renewable
energies). This entails examination of regulation, organization,
and planning for security and other purposes. In a number of cases,
energy security law is shaped by other factors such as market
liberalization, environmental protection, and competition policy.
Part III comprises two final chapters, the first contrasting the
various national and regional approaches and analysing
cross-cutting issues, whilst the concluding chapter forecasts
future trends in the legal regulation of energy security.
