The Environmental Law Reporter (ELR) has named “Forgotten Waters,” by Professor Michele Okoh, as one of its top 20 articles of 2023. The article, published in the Georgetown Law Journal, investigates the legacy of discrimination and environmental racism in access to safe drinking water and evaluates the Safe Drinking Water Act and Rural Electrification Act through that lens. Okoh is a criminal law, criminal procedure, and environmental justice scholar whose publications touch frequently on the intersection between criminal justice and public health. ELR publishes the Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review, in collaboration with Vanderbilt University Law School and the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), to research and identify top environmental law and policy articles.
