A Broader Perspective on NaturalResourcesFor nearly 10 years, the Mineral Law Center at the Universityof Kentucky College of Law has published the Journal of MineralLaw & Policy, Effective July 1, 1992, in recognition of its increas-ing diverse national and international readership, the Journal wasrenamed and will continue as the Journal of Natural Resources &Environmental Law. Along with the new cover comes a broadperspective on conservation, environmental management, naturalresources law, and the mineral industry. The new name only reflectsthe wide range of topics in law, energy and environmental studies,tax planning, natural resources policy, and professional responsi-bility actually published by the journal since its creation. Theretitled Journal also displays the Editorial Board's assumption thatresolution of natural resource problems requires a balancing oflaw, science, policy, politics, economics, and culture. Even with itsnew look, the Journal will remain a forum for practitioners, aca-demicians, and policy-makers throughout the United States andabroad. Discussion pieces, descriptions of creative solutions topersistent problems, and commentary on policy and politics willcontinue to be welcomed.As the Journal begins a new chapter, the Editorial Boardregretfully also must announce the end of another. Effective July1993, Professor David C. Short, Director of the Mineral LawCenter, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal, will step down tobecome Dean of the Salmon P. Chase College of Law at NorthernKentucky University. A veteran of private practice and publicservice, Professor Short has led the Journal since its beginning,attracting funding in tough times, soliciting articles throughout theworld, and promoting quality at every turn. Professor Short'swisdom will continue in his absence.Others deserve the Journal's thanks at this point as well. Long-time supporter Professor John Batt will continue with his sageimprint on the journal. Still other UK law faculty contributing tothe Journal over the years-in particular, Professors Carolyn Bratt,Martin McMahon, Richard Underwood, and Steven Vasek-de-serve special thanks for their vision and support.In continuing the Journal's wide-ranging focus on tough nat-ural resource and environmental problems, this issue provides anexamination of water quality regulation on Native American landsby two San Francisco attorneys; an analysis of the transnationalmovement of hazardous waste by a second-year Harvard Lawstudent; an investigation of acid rain legislation by two Lexingtonattorneys, and consideration of key contractual provisions in Eur-opean petroleum law by two Scottish barristers, one now a CornellLaw Professor. Equally as impressive in this issue are the worksof several University of Kentucky law students on artificial wet-lands, judicial review, asbestos removal, and, in recognition of theJournal's heritage, the scope of surface mining regulation.Few law schools can boast two quality law reviews. Even fewercan point to one aimed at improving the state of the environment.The University of Kentucky College of Law can do both. And asthe natural environment becomes an issue of sobering national andinternational concern, the journal will continue to expand its read-ership, diversify the range of issues addressed, and publish usefulmaterials for academics and practicing attorneys alike. Commentson this direction are welcomed.Douglas A. HendersonManaging Editor, 1992-93for the Editorial Board
