Description:
Wolves, Courts, and Public Policy: The Children of the Night Return to the Northern Rocky Mountains examines the reintroduction and recovery of the wolf in that region and focuses on the controversial role of the courts in the resolution of public policy conflicts. Federal courts, which were required to interpret the statutory mandates and review the Department of the Interior's decisions to ensure statutory compliance, have been instrumental in the return of the wolf to the Northern Rocky Mountains. The analysis of this public low litigation demonstrates that the federal courts correctly interpreted the statutory mandates and properly evaluated the Department of Interior's decisions. Book jacket.
