History and overview
The journal was founded in 1986 by participants at the University of Oregon School of Law's Western Public Interest Law Conference.[2] The founding editors intended for the journal to be a forum for scholarship relating to "citizen enforcement of public [environmental] laws."[3] In 1994, the journal began publishing on a biannual basis.[4]
