Shannon Roesler, the Charlotte and Frederick Hubbell Professor of Environmental and Natural Resources Law, received a “highly recommended!” rating on Legal Theory Blog for her article "Fairness Without Fault: Takings, Torts, and Climate Adaptation."

The article examines whether federal takings doctrine should impose constitutional liability on governments for property damage arising from infrastructure design and climate adaptation decisions. Lawrence Solum, the curator of Legal Theory Blog and a University of Virginia School of Law professor, gave the article the highest possible rating.

Roesler is the faculty director of the Hubbell Environmental Law Initiative, and her scholarship focuses on issues of environmental justice, environmental governance, climate change litigation, energy law and policy, and land use. She has an article on the topic forthcoming this fall in the Florida State University Law Review.
