Environmental Legal Research Guide: Reports & Briefs

Guide to federal environmental legal research, including the CAA, CWA, ESA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is the public policy research arm of Congress. CRS reports are an invaluable resource to environmental legal practitioners, however, their dissemination is only allowed at the discretion of Congress--as a result only select materials are available to the public. Below please find a list of websites that provide copies of CRS reports dealing with various issues in environmental law.
