Wayne Law associate professor writes water issues chapter in book
Wayne State University Law School Associate Professor Noah D. Hall is co-author of a chapter in a new book, Water Without Borders? Canada, the United States, and Shared Waters, published by University of Toronto Press.
Hall’s chapter, written with Professor Jamie Linton of Queen’s University in Ontario, is “The Great Lakes: A Model of Transboundary Cooperation.”
The book offers readers an overview of water issues along the 49th parallel, as well as commentaries by a variety of experts, including Hall, on sources of conflict between Canada and the U.S.
“Particularly noteworthy is the fact that most chapters emphasize that solutions to transboundary water conflicts have taken the form of working around — rather than through — conventional institutions for transboundary water governance,” Hall said in an entry to his blog, www.greatlakeslaw.
org. “The transboundary coopera-
tion and collaboration that charac-
terize these chapters epitomizes, we feel, how shared governance can function effectively.”
Hall, an Ann Arbor resident, is widely published and consulted on environmental and water law issues. He graduated from University of Michigan Law School and before he joined Wayne Law, he taught at U of M Law School and was an attorney with the National Wildlife Federation. He also has extensive litigation experience.
