Analysing analysis: reporting, reviewing and re-appraising environmental law

The 25th Anniversary of the Journal of Environmental Law offers an opportunity to review the content of the Analysis section of the Journal, charting how it began life with an intention to report cases as well as to offer an analysis of them. The broad coverage of the section over 25 years is explored to allow discussion of the development of environmental law as a discipline over this time. In particular the role of a comment section is considered in an era in which news of legal developments and critiques of these are available contemporaneously from a multiplicity of sources. With this in mind, the future of Analysis is debated.
